It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

    Ah, must have missed that one, though

    Using the same profile as on mobile device is not yet supported – you need to create a separate profile to use desktop apps.

    is a pretty major downside.

        But wouldn’t that mean if someone writes to your desktop profile you can’t respond on mobile and vice versa? And you would have to be added by everyone else twice too?

          Yes.

          You have to switch between devices.

          When this becomes seamless, it’ll be a more competitive app.

          Also, it’s a ram eater on my phone
