I feel that at this point, I have lost all faith we will ever see RCS as an actual libre, federated protocol.
- Crazy to think in a couple of years RCS will be two decades old in the making

  I remember getting all excited when googs tried to take it by the reins in 2016ish but the amount of people that still....
  1 - simply hate it and only use SMS still (and turn off mobile data too like neanderthrals)
  2 - hate it because RCS sometimes just does not work because they got a backlog of "texts" suddenly coming through, and turn it off
  3 - use a third party app for messaging instead and have done with it
  I really don't see how it's gonna compete with Apple being, Apple too :/
  
  I mean half the reason too is just that existing group texts don't just auto transition to RCS even if everyone supports it.
  I literally have to delete and recreate a group to make it trigger, but then I lose all those texts and my family gets confused because now there's 2 group chats so half the time they don't use it anyways.
