Following the news that “Beeper becomes first RCS chat app for iPhones, introducing support for Google Messages with RCS” what are your thoughts on the app and on the RCS forced by Google? Is it worth a try? Or should I stick to Matrix and Signal?
Edit: source
It’s proprietary, therefore I have no interest in it. The fact that it uses Matrix on the server end isn’t noteworthy because software freedom is about what I run on my local hardware, not what the company runs on theirs.
I would be interested to know what changes/additions their client and server make to the standard Matrix experience. I know their proprietary client is coupled to their service but can I use a standard Matrix client with their service? If normal Matrix clients cannot interact with it then the use of Matrix on the server end is but an implementation detail and not relevant to users.
