    Prosody can double as your UnifiedPush server an any Conversations app can be configured to be a low-bandwidth UnifiedPush client. This would XMPP can fill as role of chat as well as unGoogled notifications. If you use something like JMP you could have a secondary or primary phone number. With some gateways you could puppet some proprietary chats. Seems you can get a lot of value out of that chat app.

        And my coms are limited to XMPP, e-mail, IRC, Matrix, Signal …& Mattermost for work & this cover the people I talk to (tho proprietary LINE would help in my case, but they ruined my trust after remove LINE Lite so I quit). Network effects are strong, but you can offer alternative methods to folks… & given that mine doubles as my unGoogled notifications, I have zero issue keeping my low-bandwidth XMPP connection even if the majority of my contacts aren’t using it (which is a protocol with a user base largely of older folks like you & I that focus on backwards compatibility so maintenance isn’t a burden).
