    I’ve seen a lot of discussion about why most of the rest of the world uses messaging apps instead of texting, so I understand. And messaging applications are objectively better in almost every way. But the threat of enshittification is always present when people choose a corporate walled garden. Hopefully some of the new EU regulations on account portability will make lock-in less of a concern.

      rest of the world

      Except New Zealand! Although FB Messenger is more dominant here, plenty of us still use plain old SMS, and I’m really grateful for it.
