I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

    So… proprietary data collecting thing owned by Google, service that requires phone number to sign up, or service that does not even pretend to be E2EE and (worse) routes chat traffic through multiple potentially-adversary-controlled servers on its way to you?

      1. RCS is licensed GSMA, not owned by Google
      2. Signal requiring a phone number is a REALLY minor drawback
      3. Obviously lemmy mentions would not be for messages intended to be private, but for anyone to see, just like this one here.

        But like saying Android isn’t proprietary.

        Like yeah, technically true, but in reality everybody uses a proprietary version of it controlled by Google.
