@pixelschubsi@troet.cafe @adbenitez@mastodon.de new protocols are fine. The point may rather be that contrary to popular nerd belief protocols are only one part of an effort. What distinguishes #deltachat from #xmpp is that one is a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms and using standards under the hood, while the other is a set of specs with many different implementations and UX approaches on the various platforms, and sometimes tenuous compatibility between them.

@delta@chaos.social @adbenitez@mastodon.de Yes DeltaChat is a messenger and XMPP is a protocol. Why is the advertising towards DeltaChat so obsessed with protocols? Just say "DeltaChat is better than Conversations, because it provides a consistent UX across platforms including iOS." This would render your point much easier to understand for everyone and wouldn't require you to badmouth protocols you're relying on yourself.

@delta@chaos.social @adbenitez@mastodon.de consistent UX, except when not.
