@0xDEADBEEF @bremner @snikket_im Snikket is good, and easy to invite others onto. However, it needs someone to run an instance, or use a hosted one. Somewhat similar to mastodon in that way, but lacking the large, public, free instance.
@bremner @0xDEADBEEF yeah, that's the rub. There are free non-snikket instances but the signup and trust/reliability is a bit shaky. Hard to convince people to pay for ones like conversations.im when they initially only use it to interact with me. Quick.sy is Android-only. Wish there was a big one that used the original WhatsApp "first year free, then $1/year" style pricing model to kick start some network effect.
@keverets org Self hosting is kindof a dealbreaker for most of my correspondents. I can and do host my own server, but I don't want to host everyone I talk to.
