      If only they could develop a federated short message system.

      Messenger/WhatsApp/slack messaging style but federated like email

        Email was originally one of the first federated systems. Anyone can host a server and send messages back and forth from other servers with a set standard. That basically is federation.

        Email is federated, it’s just not really a medium people want to limit to 500 chars…

        Nothing at all stopping you from writing a client that only allows 500 char messages in and out.

        Someone even built a chat system that used email under the hood.
