    Signal refusing to federate with WhatsApp, even though meta says they will still use the signal protocol is the most bone headed decision I have ever seen from them.

    There no better chance to break the network effect than this.

      Yeah that sucks, Signal is my preferred app and I wish I could get rid of WhatsApp without having to convert everyone.

      Yeah this is very stupid. But I never liked Signal anyway.

      Is there a matrix protocol based app that is planning to “federate”?

        Realistically there is going to be a bridge which you can either self host or use to federate matrix.

        Every Matrix protocol server, excluding some experimental or internal for a company ones, are federating? And it’s not an app as you can choose an app, the protocol defines client<>server spec too.
