I think the fediverse should look for XMPP for chat solution. It is what comes closest to its philosophy
Is there any client for XMPP that support threads (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0201.html)?
Last time I checked I couldn't find any
Desktop? For mobile I think Conversations has that feature, the one I use is a fork and it supports threads, although not as good as Discord IMO
Desktop indeed
I agree.
I tried to create a XMPP server, twice. I failed once but one of them I got running but then I found it hard to get a decent desktop app which connected to it. By the end of the experiment I could see why XMPP didn't take off.
I understand you
