@daniel The big plus of #DeltaChat is that the infrastructure is already there. Infrastructure is a big part of the problem. And obviously using mail for that is only for people born before 2000.
Second is branding: When people hear #XMPP they hear 20 years of failure of implementing robust solutions both server-side and client-side. People just don't know that after 20 years there now are server and client solutions really working.
@daniel
Best would have been to have the infrastructure of Google and 1&1 from some years ago and the working state of XMPP of today. Since that sweet spot wasn't hit, I'd recommend rebranding (never call a service XMPP or Jabber again, the protocol name isn't anything users want to know) and ways to provide certified infrastructure very conveniently. Don't know how though, currently. I'm a #Yunohost self hoster.
