'Don't like Prav? You can port your account to another app in the Prav network, eg. Quicksy.'
This is not possible with apps like #WhatsApp, #Telegram or #Signal. You are at the mercy of your contacts to switch your messaging provider, even if you like another app.
In India, we can port our sim cards any time if we don't like our current provider or a competitor offers a better deal. #Prav and #Quicksy offers this portability. You can switch apps and still talk to your contacts. #xmpp
Thanks to @badrihippo for the poster.
@praveen xmpp needed this love for decades!! since our day with pon/poff and pidgin :P
awesome stuff
@dpreacher #xmpp had a bad experience with gtalk, facebook, whatsapp etc they all took xmpp but did not federate. Then the remaining community was mostly driven by developers, many were happy to write a new library or app with half features implemented (scratch my itch), but no one was interested to push for mass adoption/publicity. Prav wants to change that, we want to push for mass adoption through publicity campaigns and onboarding of different groups - so people have someone to talk as well.
@praveen I was listening to an (old) episode of @hello's #Decentered podcast with @jesseplusplus where they were discussing something similar. Crazy how platforms like #Meta coerce you into staying on saying "awww look at all these friends you're going to leave behind!" as if you have no way of keeping in touch with them outside your network

(Federation takes it a step further, of course, because you don't "abandon" your friends even *on* the platform you're leaving!)
