Reddit didn’t do shit. Lemmy and Kbin crushed it by existing as alternatives. People who were unhappy just went there and settled.

USAian

If you really want to go down that road, use something like “United Statesman” or something that actually fits the language. “Americanian” is absurd and people will take you less seriously for it.

Isn’t RCS an open communication standard?

In Japan and a lot of Asia, most people use LINE.

That was an interesting read. There wasn’t actually any mention of green bubbles from Apple indicated in the article, but the emails referenced in a different article linked in that one quoted a top exec’s concern that adding iMessage to Android would only remove a barrier to parents buying their kids something other than an iPhone. The intent is pretty clear that they don’t want Android and iPhone users to be able communicate fairly in iMessage.

Still, isn’t RCS support enough? I mean, assuming you simply refuse to just ask other people to download a different app?

The point you’re trying to make is correct on a technical level, not a functional one. Unfortunately we can’t will languages into behaving in ways we think is ideal simply by making pointless assertions in obscure forums.

Couldn’t agree more.

Do you have a source on this? Sounds like an interesting read.

At the very least, hopefully Apple will notice that there is enough of an appetite for iMessage on Android that people are getting innovative about it.

Sounds like an iOS problem for iOS users to deal with. If I have a family member with Android, we just agree on a chat service to use and iMessage isn’t even a part of that conversation. Older members who need help can get their stuff set up during a family visit, until which a few green bubbles won’t hurt anyone.

Why not just use a different chat app? I have like 3 installed to accommodate people from different regions.

Edit. The very next reply answered this. Sorry.
