    They probably meant tech-savviness compared to other Signal alternatives.

    Although even then XMPP with modern clients is simple enough for my mom to use, so I don’t entirely buy the “complication” argument either.

      is simple enough for my mom to use

      The bar is so low. I just had to visit somebody today to help them fix their computer. There was dirt on the fingerprint reader, and they forgot their password. I told them their password was their user name. I.e. hunter / hunter and it didn’t work… (I chose this because of their modest tech experience)

      They were using hunter / Hunter instead.

        Idk, I meant my personal experience. She doesn’t see much difference between ease of use of her XMPP client compared to, say, Whatsapp.
