RCS is already an open standard, that's why Apple is and always has been able to implement it themselves without relying on Google for anything.
@NENathaniel @kirklennon
My understanding is that it can be fully open but Google's current implementation is not. That's why the Google/Samsung messaging apps are the only texting apps that support it
Google and Samsung were the only apps to implement RCS (and the infrastructure to support the app) so far.
Nothing Google has done prevents any other organizations that want to invest the time and money from also implementing the standard.

Apple, on the other hand, doesn't allow iMessage apps or servers that they didn't create themselves. Or even an SMS/RCS app on their devices.

Hopefully someone more educated on the topic than me can jump in here haha, maybe I've been misinformed idk
Obnoxious "@"ing behavior
They're on Mastodon, interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon can be weird sometimes it automatically put those there they probably didn't manually try to @ people.
I haven’t used that feature but I think it’s neat as fuck
Yuck, it's like replying in all caps
