Following the news that “Beeper becomes first RCS chat app for iPhones, introducing support for Google Messages with RCS” what are your thoughts on the app and on the RCS forced by Google? Is it worth a try? Or should I stick to Matrix and Signal?

      importantly though Beeper also built a lot of the bridges and maintain a lot more as FOSS

      unsure about using a FOSS client with their service, but you can definitely use a FOSS client with their bridges that you host yourself and it’s functionally very similar AFAIK

        it’s so weird then to make the app closed source. I would guess that a lot of potential users would care about this and are unhappy with that …
