I am sure is great and all but for something to be viable it has to be used by
much of the population. I could probably have a small cluster of friends on a
niche application such as Retroshare but then I would still have to use
WhatsApp to speak with the rest of the normies in my chat group. I am not
saying that WhatsApp, FaceBook and Twitter, etc... are all amazing but the
superior versions run by companies that respect privacy are not known by the
wider population.
