Couldn't we have an open-messaging standard so that different apps can send messages to each other? Similar to open banking in the UK (law). Of course, the big players won't want that, but the smaller ones could start it.


We had that, it was called IRC. Then it was XMPP.

For this cycle of tech walled gardens are de rigueur. Maybe next decade it'll all revert to interoperability again. I'm not holding my breath though.


ah, is that matrix? https://matrix.org/
