i really just do not get it, nor the fascination with it here of all places-- for a community that’s so focused and energized by FOSS and FOSS platforms and FOSS projects, why does this community want to break into Apple’s closed-source, walled-garden, proprietary ecosystem so badly, especially after maligning it every chance you people get? Practically every post about Apple here just trashes Apple for how terrible they are for being closed-source and proprietary with their ecosystem-- except when it comes to iMessage and their precious “blue bubbles” which, apparently, nobody can live without and must be accessed at all costs.
why not just make your own FOSS “blue bubble” chat app, but with blackjack and hookers that doesn’t use Apple’s servers or ecosystem? Why is iMessage the one white whale that the Android community (and people here on Lemmy) simply can’t seem to get over?
