"eyes on going public"
Well, there's the death knell. Not that it was awesome to begin with, just a stepping stone to get people away from WhatsApp.
Come on Signal, SimpleX, XMPP!
I struggle to understand why XMPP isn't the de facto messaging standard around the world, I was using it on my first Android phone in 2009, 15 years ago - and was able to seamlessly message people on computers even then. Granted it was hell on battery back then.
Xmpp is p2p right? So it doesn't have cloud features like synced message history no?
No, it's federated. Like Lemmy. But without ActivityPub, of course, it didn't exist.
But Diaspora instances usually had XMPP for private messages IIRC.
