Or, a step further, since the original Beeper is a Matrix server with various open source messaging bridges slapped on it, with a fancy client interface... Why not just fucking use a Matrix server with those bridges set up? Or even set up your own Matrix server and iMessage bridge?

Beeper is literally paying people to set up open sources services for you. I'm not against this, it's a good business model, but Beeper has obviously put the cart before the horse here.

Its just not sustainable, any relation to closed fundamentally insecure "services" like iMessage. iMessage is dogshit, always has been, never won't not be
