The end is coming. Soon you will need Google messages or Apple imessages. You will use proprietary messaging applications and like it

We need more competition not less

Weirdly enough, messages seem to be the only thing I see the general public being ok with diversifying.

Everyone I know uses different messaging apps, I have active conversations in signal, telegram, Whatsapp, messages(SMS), messages(RCS), discord, and matrix.

sms is essentialy just a confirmation code delivery protocol tho? (like i have around 100 "chats" with just confirmation codes in them and ZERO conversations...) and i don't see anyone using rcs mostly because of EXTREMELY poor reputation of sms messaging...

It is pretty popular in the US. I use it for communication all the time

Same, I don't use other messaging apps besides Discord and Element, but those are for chatrooms.
