Anyone know how to get their elderly parents to switch? Whatsapp has us cornered and they know it.
Can someone explain to me what use case I'm missing? Why do people care about old messages? Personally I just read incoming message and never "scroll back".
What went wrong with XMPP and federated servers?

The UX.
Also, XMPP is a good example of a 'victim' of embrace, extend, extinguish. I remember Facebook messenger, hyves chat, Google talk and briefly even WhatsApp, all in my desktop chat app. They all 'did' XMPP, but then removed federation, features or killed it entirely.
Fascinating and it sounds doable to me. However, not to my mother in law and most other people I know, which is the group that would require a method like this, but then it should be much easier.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
And this is why I use Telegram, for them UX matters. Yes MTProto is not audited blah blah. I use IRC too and that has exactly butkus for encryption :D
Thats true, Telegram has very good UX. But bullshit crypto with a closed server etc. :-(
Telegram proves that to have even better UX, you need to sacrifice security (and privacy).

I sent the link to my elderly parents. They both installed it on their Android without a problem. Then I received a video call from my mum - she'd installed the desktop app by herself. So, get better parents?
