huh, interesting the more you know. An app that is universal for all common things would be nice but, Twitter would need a MASSIVE overhaul to do anything like that. Facebook has a better chance of doing that just due to how broad it is(still wouldn't use it cause Facebook), twitter is far too limited for something like that
A universal app means a monopoly. No. We don't need that.
I wouldn't be against multiple universal apps for Freedom of choice tbh. Like there's already matrix which is attempting to do something like that for chats with bridges, and the there's also beeper which uses the same framework iirc
¿???????
I'm not 100% sure where the confusion is coming from so I apologize in advance for the ignorance. Yea universal as in you can do everything there. I'm not sure how the term universal would mean there can only be one. It would be counter productive to the freedom of the internet to have it that way. I would prefer to be able to access everything from one app. Would save a buttload of space on my phone and would make things universally easier by having the same interface across everything. I would prefer it to not be twitter since the platform sucks, but I wouldn't be against something like that and thats the wonderfulness of the internet, you can have more than one service doing the same thing.
The term universal and distinct are not mutual, unless I misunderstood the definition of universal somewhere
A good example of this would be pideon, I used to use that as a service to be able to access XMPP, IRC, Skype (back in the day), and google chat. Universal app that could be used for all my social needs, without having a monopoly.
