Bruh, look at the magazine before commenting.
If you aren't going to offer anything constructive in your comment, why don't you buy the guy the premium upgrade yourself?
Oh no, the bad man told me to pay for the privacy service I use instead of freeloading and stealing from them.
It's one thing to steal shit because it's unavailable. I think it's another to steal from a company offering reasonable privacy services competing against Whatsapp. And then you'll all bitch when it's only Facebook left. Signal is certainly circling the drain.
How about using a messenger that isn't beholden to the good graces of "a company?" XMPP has been around for ages. Setup a server and use it.
Good luck getting anyone to use it.
Well, if you are to be believed, eventually they won't have any choice once the other shitty dominoes fall.
Yup. And the current status quo will continue. Folks will use WhatsApp, iOS, RCS.
Support companies like signal and telegram.
Nope, fuck companies like telegram. Just another ghoul trying to profit off the backs of open source developers. Signal is owned by a non-profit, so not sure what kind of "support" you are speaking of, but the desktop app is electron trash, so it's right out for me.
Also, one of those things is not like the others. RCS is a 3GPP standard, the infrastructure to run already being paid for by my wireless bill. I would prefer people use it to talk to me.
Doesn't it depend exclusively on Google?
Carriers can setup their own infrastructure if they wish, it's just that many are content to let Google deal with it. This isn't RCS's (or Google's, for that matter) fault.
