You do know that we also can share things, right?

Shut the front door!

Yep, share shitty pixelated videos over text because the two platforms don’t play nice (Apple’s fault). The blue bubble loyalty is strong. I have multiple group texts where Android users are silently left off because blue bubble users don’t want to degrade the experience. These are nice people who would never exclude that person from a group conversation in real life.

In these group text cases, no…you can’t share things because you aren’t even in the conversation.

So, essentially the value proposition is you can be part of the elitist club that won't involve you in a conversation, due to Apple's UI making the experience of talking to a non-apple users unpleasant?

Yeah, I'm good πŸ˜‚

Kinda yeah. Not ideal at all.

This is the big reason why Apple isn’t implementing RCS or putting iMessage on Android. They’ve discovered that messaging is the killer feature to get people on the platform. And once you're there, everything else gets an Apple logo for convenience’s sake.

It's great marketing on their end, but I'm happy to have a great messaging experience without a greedy corporation gatekeeping and manipulating me into social classes.

Google's not making RCS part of AOSP either, since THEY want people on Android locked into Messages as a result of carrier incompetency and slow adaptation.

Both can get fucked as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I don't use stock messaging apps either. Hell, I barely use sms or mms at all anymore, and very few people I communicate with do either.

I wish I could say that was the case; either I have to text or use fucking WhatsApp.

Nostr fixes this all the way down. Crack open messaging to be an open platform (like SMS was back in the day) and you’ll remove huge vendor lock-in.
