apple hates open standards
What about WhatsApp is open?
Nuked and deleted my numerous alts over the past few days. Nuked and deleted my main and oldest account (14 years) just a few hours ago.
Might spool up that self-hosted lurk-only software to still browse, but I’m not posting another word on there.
I’m certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?
