Comment on Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)

Yes I know Facebook doesn’t want to have to integrate with other messenger apps for WhatsApp. I was referring to their push to get Threads on the Fediverse. This is something they are pushing for internally and not something they are obligated to do.

I think in both cases, Facebook will make functionality work but will let things be wonky if you’re not using the WhatsApp/Messenger/Threads app. That will put pressure on people to abandon using Signal or Mastodon to communicate and not experience issues.

I won’t talk about mastodon some this post is about instant messaging. This sentence would make sense if it weren’t that we already have WhatsApp.

This change would enable us to uninstall whatsapp and use a single app to talk with friends and family WhatsApp and he’s kinda extreme, alltbe other ones have it to communicate with “normies” anyway.

  The top level comment was about Fediverse which is why I brought up Mastodon
  
  and they want to join the Fediverse too, they are acting like the guy that wants to fit in by force. It all smells like some monopoly shenanigans
