To kill FB I don't understand why Google doesn't have a full time team of people working to extend/fork Signal to add a doomscrolling "blog posts" feature with required group/circles/whatever-bullshit.
This isn't about Google capturing the FB space. Simply denying it to FB.
Honestly:
- no ads. (Seriously Google, no ads. But you know they can't which is why this is a pipe dream....)
- could sort your own timeline by timestamp, number of comments, whatever
- can't be shutdown due to content.
Bonus points for:
- Events and adding Events into your local phone calendar.(Please don't give me another calendar to cross reference.)
Google twist the knife effort:
- Free public facing web hosting for those who actually want their "Wall" public. IE companies, businesses, "personalities" etc.
They did this for Android to compete with Apple.
They can do it with Signal to compete with FB.
If nothing else, could they "buy" the features from the Signal team in a similar fashion to Blender? This'd be my preference so that Signal maintains independance at least somewhat.(Money always talks I know.)
