YESSSS! Let’s hope apple does have to adopt this, it would be so helpful when communicating with apple users
Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off
mox@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months agoYou joke, but Matrix has been working on protocol design specifically for the Digital Markets Act. If iMessage were to be ruled subject to the DMA, it might mean Apple having to adopt (a future version of) Matrix.

It is only a suggestion. Like, if a gatekeeper wants to actually become open and adopt a protocol here we are showing you the path. But Apple is not like that, they would do absolute minimum and propably even less.

I don’t like Matrix, but that’d be an improvement.
(It supports bridging anyway, so one could use an XMPP-Matrix bridge and a Matrix-crapland bridge simultaneously)

What’s wrong with Matrix?
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
From practice - performance of clients and of servers too.
From emotion - it uses Web technologies.
From some logic maybe - if they are doing something new, then why not distributed architecture like Tox (at least identities not tied to servers), and if they choose something architecturally similar to XMPP, why not use XMPP.
However, emotion again, I really like Matrix APIs, these are definitely designed to be used by anyone at all.

Oh no! Web based protocol! Not stability, ease of debugging, less block rate, and easy SSL protection! The horror!!
