Why not push for google to adopt iMessage as a standard instead?

Because that would ruin Apple’s business model of ‘your friend doesn’t use iMessage because they have an android and thats on them’

They wouldn’t make money off of iMessage being on androids, which they’ve shown with other things to be the only thing they really care aboyt.

Exactly. Right now I am staying on Lemmy, but I said the same thing a year or two ago about Reddit. If something fucks up I’m happy to pack up shop and move.
