    Because no person in my life uses it I made the generalization that it isn’t used much, leading to my top comment.

    The point is to take the base communication technology (texting) and bring it to the 21st century without being beholden to some American company.

    Is this satirical? RCS is beholden to some American company as far as I can tell.

      Hopefully you will learn not to generalise so brazenly in future ;)

      RCS is an open, standardised protocol implemented globally by the GSM. It isn’t beholden to an American company at all? The GSM takes advice from third parties (like the implementation of MLS) but acts independently. Yes, Google had a huge hand in the design and implementation of it but Google doesn’t own the standard protocol.

      Not sure if you’re just joking… but it is vastly, vastly better than using a messaging platform owned by a for-profit company like Meta.
