Over the years, I've onboarded close to 100 non-geeks to #XMPP. I ask them to install Quicksy (Android/iOS), and we're good to go.
XMPP is the only chat system I've used since 2017. I onboard family, friends, coworkers (from the arts), OSM contributors...
But the #Signal #WhatsApp #Discord and #Telegram silo-lovers (and the #DeltaChat and #Matrix NIH fanboys) have the gumption to loudly proclaim that XMPP is unusable.
It's a bit like telling a fish that swimming is impossible. 🙄
