Does need a more public-friendly term? People wouldn't understand email either, if you told them "please contact me through SMTP"

Yes we have , but that's not very self-explanatory. Maybe we need a more descriptive term like: e-chat?

@badrihippo “On Jabber” sounds about the same or better than “on Telegram” or “on WhatsApp”. It’s not the name.

@tennoseremel fair enough if we're talking app level, but you can't just download and install "the Jabber app". What we're trying to sell is the entire concept of federation, etc., which I think might be easier if we say "they're compatible with e-chat. Like y'know, with e-mail but for chat?"

(Not saying it's a silver bullet or anything of course but it might be worth a try?)

Not to be confused with the Ethiopian Oppressed People's Revolutionary Struggle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echat
