AFAIK there is no open source messaging app that support RCS yet. It's not even included in android AOSP (or is it? I can't find any reference). It would help with adoption if google actually open-sourced the RCS client app.
They won't let any third party apps use it so they are basically as bad as imessage.
Forgive me if I'm mistaken but did Signal adopt RCS? I they abandoned SMS for RC- if I recall - couldn't SMS my friends on it anymore and abandoned ship lol
Edit: wait, I don't think signal is open source
I don't know what you're talking about. Signal does not use RCS and it is open source.
