weirdly my first thought just now was "wouldn't it be cool if we could federate this somehow". have a single (or a handful) of secure communication protocol(s) so that users could just choose the app with the UI they liked best and be done with it.
...then I realized I just essentially invented matrix and that already exists. lol. but yeah the issue is getting everyone to the same place.
its impossible to get some people to move from a platform they've used for over a decade in most cases.
