poor take.

interoperable e2ee messaging is an intensely difficult problem. signal didn't solve it. matrix couldn't either. simplex hasn't managed either.

i'm biased of course, but I believe what we're doing with Marmot is the way forward. it's already proven it's interoperable and it's now stable enough to be a daily driver.
to the ppl working on encrypted messaging "standards" on nostr: stop with the science projects, make something decent & interoperable & pragmatic that can "just work" everywhere, talk between yourselves and agree on something instead of reinventing the wheel and further fragmenting the ecosystem, stop wasting time and money and testing people's patience. doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to work and be relatively easy to implement. not my area of expertise but it shouldn't be that hard my frens.
