@Poruri Sai Rahul from @FOSS United echoed the federation aspect of #XMPP (mentioning how he can communicate with Prav users using Quicksy) in an Indian Express article (indianexpress.com/article/opin…) in which he talked about how moving from one walled garden to another (WhatsApp to Arattai) is a bad move.

in reply to The Prāv Cooperative • • •- this is not because Telegram is better than WhatsApp (or just marginally, with regards to alternative client tolerance)
- this is possible via a matrix bridge
- bridging to WhatsApp is also possible
- XMPP bridges to telegram and WhatsApp exist too: slidge.im (yes, a shameless self-plug)

in reply to Nicoco • • •I had a short comment about the bridge that allows users to talk between telegram <> matrix but i was asked to consider removing it because it was too technical. Maybe i should have expanded and simplified it the comment instead of removing it. Thank you for the comment 🙏🏻
I didn’t know that bridging to whatsapp is possible - and im not sure if this is an EU-specific possibility

in reply to Poruri Sai Rahul • • •Bridging to WA is against their ToS, but it is possible yes. I don't think that is EU-specific.
Thank you for the article and reply ;)
