SMS is too underpowered in 2023

• lxgr 3y ago
  SMS works quite well for what it was originally designed: Short, text-only messages to a specific mobile phone number. Using it for instant messaging has always seemed like a very weird usage of the protocol to me. The two just have very different semantics, just like how it's generally accepted that email is not a great medium for group chat either.
