     i have mostly one complaint about nostr (the type codes) but otherwise idk. it seems fine as a screaming in to the void mechanism?
     
     XMPP not too bad its okay. would take a bit of bullshit to make stuff for but eh.
     
     deltachat is whatever. had nobody to chat with. might still play with webxdc.
     
     email i would just change smtp to handle binary files properly. the biggest ass with deltachat is all the fucking overhead through encryption and base64 encoding vs. if we just transmitted binary like we should be doing. dunno what kind of herculean efforts it would take to get binary smtp in the wild.
     
     anyway idk

     @ligthert xml is much maligned but its fine. you were never meant to be writing it by hand but we all botched that part.

     @icedquinn I think the problem with email is that its currently not decentralized enough, in part thanks to anti-spam efforts. So you have the big parties like gmail, live, gmx etc etc that whitelist each other, but everything self-hosted will have a hard time not ending up in some kind of spambox.

     I am still a fan of XMPP, at least, the idea of XMPP. Because it was a product of the time and relied heavily on XML. And if there is one thing I hate besides Java, its XML.
