What is Sup ?

[breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca]

Not too much. Sup with you?

[mitm0@lemmy.world]

Nice one
Anyways, what is this "Sup" that people keep talking about ?
Is it another federated platform ?

[breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca]

Thanks for being a good sport. In these trying times we have to cherish every genuine updog moment we find ourselves in.

It's federated encrypted messaging

Is the RCS technology fully open source? If yes it could be nice to try to find a fediverse - friendly mobile operator willing to create a bridge...

[perfectly_boiled_pizza@lemmy.world]

It's not open source

[itjustdonn@slrpnk.net]

Good to know! Still new to the fediverse so I'm trying to get a good lay of the land in terms of what different platforms offer

[acockworkorange@mander.xyz]

Signal is just like WhatsApp. Same features. So yeah, that’s incorrect.

[jackalope@lemmy.ml]

Can you explain a little more what you mean?

The app requires code from Google that is not open source and has a history of being malware that invades your privacy and steals your data.
