It almost seems like satire at this point. Maybe this is all actually a long con to drive everybody back to IRC (or keep them there if they never left).

- dhimes 9y agoWouldn't that be awesome!
- crocal 9y agoLet’s do this.
- sandos 9y agoThey already drove everyone I know to FB messenger. A long time ago.
- mirhagk 9y agoIt's sad and true. FB messenger is such a crappy thing but google still manages to be worse than it. I think the last time I used a messaging app that doesn't consistently crash and fail on the basics (scrolling, pasting text) was when I used MSN messenger. That was also the last time I could use a single messaging app to message everyone
- lambda_lover 9y agoLuckily my friend group has slowly migrated away from FB Messenger thanks to the battery life impact (substantial, in our experience) and hamfisting of Stories/Ads into the app. For the most part, we're back on SMS now. Personally I'm hoping AOL releases AIM mobile soon and we can finally go full circle to my first messaging client.
- blhack 9y agoI'd love SMS if apple would stop screwing around with it re: imessage.
