It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

      True, however it’s not as polished as Signal and not as noob friendly. I’ve been using Matrix daily for a couple years using Fluffychat and Element and not much has changed.

        Unfortunately, no federated service will be as noob friendly as a centralised service.

        It has made improvements although I agree it needs some more work in the ease of use department.

          I can’t agree. What is the thing that decentralized service cannot have?

          Imagine theoretical Matrix client with Signal’s UI and Signal’s identity (phone number) resolution.

            Phone number resolution is already a feature with identity servers but most servers don’t implement it.

            Also have to choose a server increases the barrier of entry. I guess element works around that by defaulting to matrix.org although that’s not a great solution.
