I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn’t even say anything.

A: what’s your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don’t have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

Snikket exists for this type of user. If money is an issue, since XMPP is actually lightweight unlike Matrix, you can host multiple things even on the cheapest VPSs so it isn’t dedicated to one taskl or self-host out of your home (which is what I do, but also with some small sites, a feed aggregator, Mumble, terminal sharing, Darcs/Pijul version control systems, & Nix remote builder).

Skill issue, not money issue.

But when you are a business, everything can be converted into a money issue.

skill issue

I don’t understand how. Snikket is fully boxed up & preconfigured for the lazy, & offers straight-up hosting for the the even lazier.

I say lazy since setting up ejabbered is already easy to set up with sane defaults, a web admin UI, & availability in like every package manager.

fully boxed up & preconfigured for the lazy,

I see that as solving the skill and effort issue.
