I thought about all that libpurple did back then, including OTR encryption that worked perfectly fine with others.

These days I think that most services try to make money with stuff that was built decades ago already, and they're just keeping the reinventing cycle spinning.

Anyone remember the franz app [1] ...which finally led to the hardfork of ferdi? [2] I feel that element one is franz all over again.

Franz was mainly just web views, no? Ferdi appears to be the same. This is different.
