The real problem is: People use mastodon and are not willing to use other fediverse-software…
But there are so many of them out:
That’s the main feature, i use friendica. I had a Twitter-Account for years… never used, because i always missed the context… That’s why i used facebook before the fediverse… because i need context and space to make short or even very long ansers… in one posting. That’s also, why i use friendica… looooooong answers… and images inside the text.
As i often say:
Each Node has to bring it’s own xmpp-server. When you log in to your mastodon, friendica or what else, you are instantely logged in in this xmpp-server.
The fediverse-id is also the xmpp-jid.
In the contact you can just click on “chat” and you will be connected with this xmpp-account.
Conversejs or jsxc bring such small-chat-windows as you know from facebook.
The roster is your contact-list.
AND conversations allows you, to add your fediverse-chat-account as additional account… so you can use it on your smartphone without being logged in in the fediservice.
Xmpp has a small footprint. So it’s ideal. Mucs are also possible for groupchats.
If it is preconfigured, and easy to install (look at snikket!), there is instantely a secure chat in the fediverse.
i don’t agree.
