Just a different walled garden.

My Russian friends are all in VK, my Russian relatives are all in Telegram, my Armenian relatives are all in Facebook Messenger, and my American relatives are all in WhatsApp and Skype.

I'm so tired of this shit TBF. Is it so hard to just install Conversations once for Android and whatever for iOS?

    I'm hoping RCS' burgeoning ubiquity on Android breaks some of the walls down in Europe, at least.

    XMPP would be better, but this is something, yes.

    We have firmly reached the limits of my very limited understanding of the technologies available, now! But we agree, at least, that something not tied into a walled garden is preferable.

    I have a little hope with the recent time in the sun the fediverse is having.
