    Good luck convincing normies to use some obscure messaging protocol. It’s difficult with Signal, even harder with Matrix, basically impossible with XMPP. 99.99999% have never in their life heard about XMPP. Also most mobile clients absolutely suck. You also can’t get proper push notifications without completely ruining your battery life. What a great choice!
