Last year The Digital Markets Act was all the rage! The Interoperability was coming! And now year later I know zero apps that interoperate^1^ with meta. Is there any app that implemented that?
[1] yes we are on the fediverse and all that entails.
I’m in the same boat. What I’d give to keep contact with my family without being forced to use the WhatsApp app.
Unfortunately none of the bigger players seem to have any interest in making use of the interoperability.
And I think Meta has made it extra hard for smaller ones.
Aren’t they forced to? I thought that was the whole point
They are forced to offer it. But they’re not forced to use it.
If Signal wanted to federate with WhatsApp, WhatsApp would be forced to open up. But Signal doesn’t want to.
fuck meta. i dont want anything interoperable with it.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, but only for bigger cooperations.
As in, extinguish them. Make it far more attractive to not be at a big soulless corpo.
I guess it only works on paper ? 🧐
It works.
You wrote your comment on a platform that is proof that interoperability works.

You probably dont want things to actually interoperate with Meta, they’re not exactly trustworthy
