The new @converseapp is really starting to feel like Telegram & WhatsApp Except it’s onchain. Not tied to my phone number. Not owned by one guy. Inbox is protected by consent. Private and not random followers. And totally portable so I can take my network with me if I ever want to leave Onchain WhatsApp 🔥🔥

It's actually not onchain, but better for the the other reasons you indicate.

as @jessepollak told me, onchain is just a metaphor for being onchain.. it's not where the messages are stored and thats a great thing for our privacy

Agree that it's better for the messages to be offchain. With due respect to you and Jesse, I think it's misleading to say XMTP is onchain when it isn't. In web3, IMO, it's especially important not to mislead, even with the best of intentions. That aside, I am a huge fan of XMTP and hope it becomes more widely adopted!

That's great feedback. We've been leaning into "onchain messaging" but maybe we should think differently about that, id love to hear @jessepollak take on this when he's back.
