is not rcs simply another locked down standard under the thumb of google, which they have decided to limit and block on rooted devices in the past?

correct me if im wrong ? but this all seems like a freight train of no good barelling in. google propoganda has won out and we’re swapping one gatekept standard for another.

RCS itself is an open standard (kind of), but Google Messages is literally the only RCS Client

There are no others. Like seriously you can barely find another usable RCS Client

sad! the world once again fell for google’s propaganda and deception just because they were able to muster up a good-guy attitude and a winning smile.

yeah it's quite disappointing, I wish Matrix saw some more (individual!) funding

(organisations that have funded Matrix in the past generally want new features, but not core work on Matrix to make the experience any better 🥴)
