tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.

Seriously. I’m quite a Google maximalist (yea, I know, spare me) and a
young-ishnot-that-old IT nerd. But even I have lost track of which chat app is currently the supported one / the successor of all the dead ones, and how to get is / use it (well, particularly on the web). If I’m confused, I can’t imagine how it is for the average internet user or old people.Even Google Chat is trash. It can’t beat Signal.

Zuckerberg can be an moron from a privacy perspective, but he sure does seem to respect stability.
