          I don't know if you know about it, but there's this new community [email protected]
          They got some nice discussion about how to on-board more people on here.

            So google is just loosing money with their Jibe servers?
            There is no ads there.
            I guess they can make money with RCS business accounts if they wanted.

            But let's get back to the fediverse question, google manages RCS by providing jibe servers for mobile operators right? Because they were lazy to .manage it (and they're not that techy when it comes to servers probably, they're good with antenna and similar mostly)
            Can't anyone offer a jibe server for any mobile operator?
            Google is not a global mobile provider at all.
            What secret law is behind RCS?

              Google is not making a profit from RCS, but they don't have to be loosing money either. I don't know the price Google is charging telecom providers. It's either very cheap or for free. That's why many telecom providers choose Google's solution. I believe that Google is treating it as an investment. I assume that Google plan to charge more in the future or that they want data from the users. Maybe both.

              Telecom providers know how to do all of this themselves, but it's going to cost more money than using Google's solution. Someone else can absolutely start providing RCS to telecom providers but they will have a hard time trying to sell it to telecom providers if they're not cheaper than Google.

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

                        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...

                              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

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

                                    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.
