   @crw great question, you are the first person who asked this!

   The benefit is using your fediverse account (pixelfed, mastodon, pleroma) and being able to chat with your friends with real time notifications (ie: Dan is typing...)

     > using your fediverse account

     Assuming that you're actually working with arbitrary APub accounts and not just using them as an auth provider, this is probably the most interesting part of this, especially wrt identifying devices (for the Signal protocol) and reducing delay

     Mostly because, IMO, without this, there would be little benefit over speaking one of the two established federated chat protocols.
