RCS itself is an open standard (kind of), but Google Messages is literally the only RCS Client

There are no others. Like seriously you can barely find another usable RCS Client

sad! the world once again fell for google’s propaganda and deception just because they were able to muster up a good-guy attitude and a winning smile.

  Not really — since so far nobody else has adopted RCS. And not many people use the Google one either.

    hm? genuinely does the following not contradict your statement?
    
    Chinese carriers have been proponents of RCS for years, and last year, the Chinese government began the process of codifying into law that to achieve certification, new 5G devices will be required to support RCS. src
    
    like maybe im misunderstanding but seems fairly clear that significant people groups are turning toward RCS.

  yeah it’s quite disappointing, I wish Matrix saw some more (individual!) funding
  
  (organisations that have funded Matrix in the past generally want new features, but not core work on Matrix to make the experience any better 🥴)
