    Server Installation

    On the macOS device you'd like to use for the server... And I'm out.

    Idk but that would be the only way it would be something I would consider. But (un?)fortunately, I live in a country where facebook messenger, not iMessage, is the dominating messaging platform.

    I don't even know what the dominant messenger is here in Australia I just tell everyone that if they wanna message me they better be using signal or get ignored. Some get it most don't. Those that get signal get invites to parties hangouts and responses. Those that don't get their messages looked at once every 6months when I remember that those apps exist and I could be bothered to swap accounts on my phone.

    I don't even understand the purpose. Who the hell cares what colour your texts are?

    In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, "Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android."

    Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

    I'd respond "If it is required for the job, send me a business phone that has imessage". I hope that you didn't subsidize their business expense on your own dime

    In the UK most people use Whatsapp regardless of their platform. That has its own issues but thankfully you never hear people talking about blue text bubbles.

    I'm in the UK too and the gradual shift to WhatsApp has been a relief considering it used to be WhatsApp, Snapchat, messenger, Instagram, iMessage and twitter about ten years ago, not that anyone did all of them.

    It's a shame it's meta but it's so nice that it's not a huge pile of useless features, just a few.

    Twitter never took off in my area for some reason but lot of people I knew used Facebook messenger about 10 years ago which was a pain. I'm pretty sure the popularity of Whatsapp is thanks to Vodafone. They had contracts years ago that allowed unlimited use of Whatsapp without affecting your data usage. This lead a lot of people to believe that happens on all contracts. I still can't convince my Grandma that calling through Whatsapp uses both of our data.
