Don't rely on RCS!
Unfortunately, #RCS is worse than #SMS. (It used to be worse than #CVS, but that was something completely different.)
#FreeSoftware operating systems can easily support SMS and even #MMS, e.g. with #ModemManager. RCS is completely locked into #BigTech #duopoly Google + Apple and cannot be supported by #Mobian or free Android flavours.
Use #RFC6120 instead. Open, free, #standardised, federated #InstantMessaging for all!

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social How many more obvious reasons do pragmatic people need, to support a far more stable third, middle party, such as #DemSoc?
The #duopoly is rooted in Divide and Conquer, 'Shakedown' Strategy, meant to destabilize in order to profit more. This is how the wealthiest 1% went to .01%, so quickly - the ignorant masses, innocent or otherwise, are complacent and apathetic to mass resistance.
If you have children/grandchildren, this is now in critical stages of activation.

As Republicans continue to deny climate change and Democrats sit on the sidelines, this is humanities new normal.

Will 2026 finally be the year of third parties in the United States, the year when voters are fed up with our political duopoly?
