They did and it pisses me off every day. Every fucken day I look for a messenger to free me from the hell of Google Messages. Might just say fuck it and drop RCS altogether and use like Deku or something.
That’s what I did. I just don’t have the “fancy” RCS features any more. I’m much more interested in less google than more features. I also push everyone towards Signal when I have the opportunity.
I could literally only get my 1 other neckbeard friend and the 4 other anarchists I personally know to use Signal. That would be the perfect replacement for texts for now. I’d prefer to not have accounts but I already fucken do on google messages so.
Yes, in my experience it is almost impossible to get normal people to move away from big tech. The only person I’ve successfully managed to convince is my partner, and that’s because she’s so lazy/disinterested when it comes to technology that she’s very willing to let me setup and manage everything for her. Of course, just like me, she is still stuck with big tech when it comes to communicating with everyone else.
So - can any other messenger other than Google one use rcs? I haven’t seen any. I think Google kind of locked it for themselves

Nope, unless Samsung’s does it. I think it used to
Then they replaced it with the Google one officially
