At least in XMPP’s case, I think a way of dealing with the fragmentation is to treat Movim as the ‘main’ app, and to encourage any friends willing to leave Discord to just use that, and not mention other options unless you know they’re a bit more tech savvy, and can understand the limitations of the other clients and just think of them as fun little bonuses (until they catch up, anyway). :)
This sort of fragmentation is the biggest thing I dislike about XMPP. Although Matrix kind of fucked it up also when they switched mobile to Element X
I agree, it’s an unfortunate downside. But it’s still probably our best option long-term.

Most normal people also use Discord on mobile though so that wouldn’t really work, and I’m not aware of a free XMPP server like matrix.org that exists
