Last year The Digital Markets Act was all the rage! The Interoperability was coming! And now year later I know zero apps that interoperate1 with meta. Is there any app that implemented that?
[1] yes we are on the fediverse and all that entails.
Aren’t they forced to? I thought that was the whole point
They are forced to offer it. But they’re not forced to use it.
If Signal wanted to federate with WhatsApp, WhatsApp would be forced to open up. But Signal doesn’t want to.
Wait, why not?
Are they afraid users won’t feel the need to switch since you can talk to everyone either way?
Did signal announce this decision? Or are you inferring from their lack of action?
