I don’t know what I was expecting but it looks more and more like the Messaging Interoperability the EU promised will be each gatekeeper essentially publishing their client to server protocol and then you can either use multi protocol messengers or transports. No s2s federation.
Looks like one might be able to log in through the (propriety) c2s API with third party IDs though.
@daniel that's sad but not unexpected.
Another point of view is to work with small actors to build that together.
And I think of course to #XMPP and #matrix and #Sip but also to #threema #wire and #deltachat for example!
Having a working instant messaging operability between open source actor looks like a good first step, isn't it?
There's a more secure alternative to texting via your phone's native messaging app. Signal is a free app that employs end-to-end encryption and we have a step-by-step guide to help you learn how to use it. https://ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-use-signal

Europe’s at a digital crossroads.
Big Tech’s “Sovereign Clouds” are a Trojan Horse - servers in the EU, but still under US law (CLOUD Act, FISA): https://tuta.com/blog/sovereign-washing
True digital sovereignty means European tech.
Together with @ecosia#Wire#MeisterTask and @Mastodon we want to empower businesses, governments and administrations to choose technology that protects Europe’s future.
#DigitalSovereignty is just #oneclickaway 👇
