    Sure but it’s not intuitive, it’s a pain in the ass, yet there they are. They learned something new at one time, moving away from whatever they had before, why can’t they again?

      But the entry barrier is very low. Click on a link, enter a nickname and start chatting. It literally could not be any easier.

      This is different for all of the alternatives.

        Except when it isn’t. Like the confusion of a name, claim a name, channels, requirements to meet some bullshit before you can speak, and chat in which area and all the while it looks really awful.

        I did basically the same thing with someone today, I sent them a link they clicked and we started chatting with Jitsi.

        Realistically the issue is creating the place to go, not the service itself. That is the more difficult part.

      If everyone else moved, they would too. But no one will, so they won’t. Same as it ever was.
