minus-squareInnerScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·edit-22 days agoSo we’re back to square one, five messengers and one which “can do anything”©®™ led by google. No thanks I’d rather let SMS be as it is. As far as I can see you can’t join the network without some kind of authorization (see rooted phones being unable to).
