Google fucked around too long for me to consider using any of their new services and I’m working on dropping the old. Got bit in the ass with Allo, Hangouts, GPM, Inbox, and latestly Domains, which I thought was safe.

Google’s inability to stick with something despite its flaws and working on making it better over time, but instead constantly scrapping and renaming services is why I don’t bother investing in any of their experimental projects. Why should anybody waste their time getting used to something if google is just gonna ditch it after a while.

Can’t wait to see Google rename or kill Chat because it’s not gaining traction as expected.

I miss Google Wave

Might be a UK thing maybe but nearly everyone I know has switched to another sms app or turned off Rcs chat in messages.

I’ve never seen it work most times you’d send a message then be told about a day later it was undelivered. Sms needs to be instant waiting hours before you even know it wasn’t even sent is just plain unacceptable especially when nearly everyone has unlimited sms to begin with.

I’m all in on Matrix, anything else has become irrelevant to me.

We can’t even get to a point where we have 3rd party apps supporting RCS on Android. I don’t really trust Google’s ability to deliver on and continue to support new products.

Google shouldn’t be trying to push Chat as a WhatsApp and teams competitor. It’s hard enough getting people to adopt the normal Google Messages app.
