birdychat and haiket, wtf are those
yeah exactly
seems like malicious compliance to me yeah, we are open to different messengers - picks 2 that have 5 users between them.
While I have no doubt Meta is doing the absolute minimum it can to comply, they're not allowed to pick and choose arbitrarily. They can have technical and security requirements, but we're not hearing from major players about how WhatsApp is refusing them access when they've asked.
I'm inclined to think most of them either don't want to (Signal doesn't) or aren't in a position to make it work.
would love to see matrix tbh but i dunno if thats feasible
