More so when it's the only way to reach said friend."
Yes, but:
1: Not everyone has a technical friend who wants to sign on to be their tech support, and
2. I once had a friend say that the only way he could be reached henceforth was via Telegram. How would you have reacted to that. I simply told him I don't use apps that require a phone number to sign up. Period, end of story.
(However when it comes to Signal, though it does require a phone number, it doesn't necessarily have to be YOUR phone number).
Anyway I was just reacting to what you wrote. If that upsets you, please feel free to mute or block me. I really don't want to argue with you but I do disagree with you to some extent (and agree to some things you have written also) and I do think it is unrealistic to expect anyone to use #xmpp if they don't have a technical friend such as you (or if they don't fully trust their friend - remember my friend who tried to get me to use Telegram, where would I be now if I had followed his urging?).
