It also basically undoes all of the security and privacy features of Signal.

I’d like to have a source for this claim, please.

I have an invite link that may get you in faster. Let me know if you want it and I’ll send it to you in a direct message. I’ve already sent it to @UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com

I don’t believe there’s a wait list anymore. You should be able to just download it from an app store for free. In the future, they’ll release a premium version that will require payment.

They spent around $750,000 building that iMessage bridge…shame…However, there are many people self-hosting and still using iMessage on Android…that will, likely, get smacked down soon. I’ve used Beeper since the early Beta (a little over three years now) and I love it.

I got an email and TWO direct messages on Reddit. LMAO nope.

Happy cake day!

Please, no.

I’m not sure about all of the features but you could look into https://jitsi.org/

The world will be a better place the day after every serious news media organization leaves twitter and tells all their journalists they cannot use it as anything other than an original source to what a specific public figure has to say.

YES!!!

I’ve been with Beeper since beta testing and use it with Discord. iMessage works fine for me btw. If anyone wants an invite, then I’d be happy to give you one.

I haven’t seen a single bit of advertisement for the last 15 years.

Same…weird how most people don’t know about ad blocking strategies.

I’ve had iMacs and iPhones ONLY (no MacBooks) for 16 years with no problems.

I switched from Windows to Apple back in 2008…I have never regretted it.

Tell that to Citizens United v. FEC.

Oh yeah! I remember using BBS prior to WWW.

Some days I just have to unplug and spend the entire time outdoors.

What my parents used, yes!

Thanks for the links!
