@lxo @janvlug I think this approach of a single solution will work for everyone does not help in mass adoption. And unlike GNU/Linux mass adoption is crucial for a messaging platform. If we blindly try the same strategy we use for GNU/Linux, without understanding the network effects and forced usage, we are not going to succeed. The challenges have changed and we can survive only if we adapt. I'm not saying we must use phone numbers, we should interopetate with people who want that.
