A few weeks ago, we mentioned implementing messaging in Normals. Currently, only one-on-one calls are possible, but we've managed to get it working while maintaining privacy, the rules, and the philosophy. If it's well-received by the community, we might consider expanding the chat to group chats, but this is still a costly architectural decision that we would need to cover. However, we hope you find it useful. As Team Lead for https://normals.me/, I'm available to answer any questions related to this, both functional and architectural.

The basic description, security and architecture information is in the announcements thread on Mastodon and Normals.

You could format a message with xmpp connection data, so both parties could "dial" and talk, if the client is aware of the format. A bit contrived, but workable.
