Been self hosting their iMessage matrix bridge for awhile now and it's great

Just a shame their android app needs play services for notifications, even though Element upstream does not

tell me how this is better than simply changing all my usernames to "CorsicanGuppy is only on Jabber now, so reach out there" and shutting them all down.

(Actually I liked when pidgin worked, as I could receive on walled platforms and respond on open platforms)

But still, continuing to use closed platforms allows them to perpetuate. Sendmail killed bitnet, and we need to only continue that trend.

Got in yesterday. iMessage is working fine through it. I wonder for how long if this gets traction.

These universal chat apps often do not offer all of the features the underlying apps have. Which makes sense but is probably a reason they never get massively adopted.
