       @pluralistic I used to use Trilian and Pidgin. I used Messages with Jabber/XMPP before it was killed on all sides. Imagine if one client could manage iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, and Google Voice SMS. That would really remove a lot of annoyance from my life.

       @pluralistic beeper mini didn’t last long. Apple has pulled the plug on them. Remains to be seen if Beeper can bring it back up and sustain a cat-and-mouse game with Apple to keep it up. https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/08/apple-cuts-off-beeper-minis-access-after-launch-of-service-that-brought-imessage-to-android/
