    You’re the only one whining.

    No, I’m actually very amused by Americans’ unwillingness to install a proper messenger and whine about green and blue bubbles.

    Bragging about everyone using Meta to communicate is not the dunk you think it is.

    The only messengers I mentioned by name were Signal and Telegram. You must me have confused with someone else.

        No one is doing that. You must have this thread confused with another one.

        All those stubborn Americans do that, whether they spell it out all the time out not.

        While I agree that Signal is an excellent choice, almost no one uses it

        Not with the attitude to refuse to install 3rd party messengers in the first place.

        It’s been pointed out in several threads that WhatsApp is basically a societal expectation in Europe so I assume that’s what your referring to.

        In different regions around the world, different messengers are the norm (for example Line in Japan). Only Americans are zealous defenders of archaic SMS.

        Telegram is the only option that’s even worse than Meta.

        Lolno.

            Okay so you admit you were just fabricating this argument?

            No, because it’s a real argument.

            Do you live in Japan?

            Completely irrelevant where I live. I made a random example from around the world that shows how non-US societies don’t cling to SMS.

            No one is defending SMS. But it’s the only method that gets the job done 100% of the time, regardless of what apps are installed on your phone.

            That’s how defending SMS looks like. SMS, the true work horse. 🙄

            Bruh it doesn’t even have E2EE…

            Neither has SMS which you and your American friends defend so hard.

                You’re moving the goalposts. We were discussing Telegram vs. WA.

                Actually, I just replied to Eheran’s comment do didn’t know either Google Messages nor Samsung Messages. It’s you people who feel the urge to discuss my short reply further and further which I entertained because I was a bit bored anyway. I actually only mentioned Signal and Telegram (and later Line) by name but stayed on topic of SMS/RCS all the time. You making up discussions and moving goalposts yourself is on you.

      whine about green and blue bubbles.

      The only people who whine about that are children and Europeans.
