Private communication exists even at layer 1... but people don't use it because they probably don't know, or it's not super easy to get back to your messages. So, yeah, a bit inadequate, I agree.
For me, it works well but because I understand it, and getting those notifications from apps that someone sent me a memo, and because it gets decrypted automatically, I can even read it from the notifications (mostly).
Obviously agree not a "private chat" thing... but does 25% of the job.
Someone needs to create a mIRC based on memo transactions, maybe.
Have you tried snapie on the phone? What did you think about its experience... I kind of liked it.
You can also change the top to only show people you follow (on Peakd at least).
Obviously, it requires one to constantly manage the followers, which is something impossible for me.
Anyhow...
The chat API works... but needs a working node.
It's an area that needs work. I appreciate your perspective, but I would also submit that your technical knowledge (as a Hive witness, for example) exceeds that of 99% of the population.
Threw a witness vote your way, since I was checking...
Sure, we can send wallet memos, and we can even encrypt them... but that's basically gobbledigook to the average blogger/social media user. I need pretty much zero technical savvy to use Facebook Messenger, or to send someone a DM on X or Insta. We need to approach that level of seamless usability here, too.
I like PeakD because it has pretty good features and utility. Bookmarks and lists are handy to create somewhat customized feeds.
Haven't had a chance to really test out Snapie, but have been following along with @meno's posts.

Appreciate the vote... actually very rare for people to check me out in terms of witness.
Yeah, it's about people being used to things I would rather say. For example, I never used Insta, and to be honest, I'm BAD at it.. and even hate it... so complicated for my own "blockchain oriented brain".
But yes, building something in front of blockchains in order to make it simpler is a need for basically ANY blockchain.
Give it a try with Snapie when you have the chance, I don't want to contaminate your opinion, so I will not give you more details about my opinion yet. Once and if you get to try it, let me know (tag me even), and I would love to share/discuss views.
Not forcing you to use it... 😅 ok?
Cheers
