I agree that decentralizing is the solution. But there is no use having a decentralized system that no one cares to use. If the normies can't get down with it then its no use. I'm going to give xmpp a go, but my guess is that it will not be normie-friendly.

    I stand to disagree about the non normie-friendly qualifier here. My entire family has been daily driving Conversations in place of WhatsApp for more than a decade now. Gajim on Windows just works. Bridging large rooms with IRC is a better experience with Biboumi+Gajim than any previous GUI+Bouncer combo I've used before and became the preferred way for new inbounds at my local club where IRC is a must. The pace of improvement is good and steady and there isn't anything major missing.
