A brand new messaging app is coming to the Fediverse, and it’s all thanks to the creator of Pixelfed.

    So many chat apps that no one will realistically use. Until we have interoperability between different apps it’s completely pointless releasing new ones.

      You won’t get interoperability without people creating these kinds of apps. There’s no reason Company A would futureproof their platform to communicate with apps that don’t exist, because that’s unnecessary development; the interoperability comes after the platforms exist. Email is a prime example of this.

      So, I disagree that it’s pointless.
