A brand new messaging app is coming to the Fediverse, and it's all thanks to the creator of Pixelfed.

A new messaging app is in development, and the project is described as “an open source WhatsApp for the Fediverse.”

    Matrix is getting better on fast peace, we need to give it another yew years to fix biggest holes I guess.

    ActivityPub based chat is going to suck much. Like basing chat on RSS or FTP, it can be done but why. Unless we’re talking just about replicating Instagram-like DMs then maybeee? But I still would like to just add link to Matrix in bio instead of having chat in yet another place.

      I think that’s exactly the niche this intends to fill. This is facebook messenger for the fediverse.
