It works perfectly fine on Android 🤷 In fact much better than any Matrix client does. That's 70-80% or so of the global smart-phone market. Just because you made the mistake buying into a shitty walled garden like iOS doesn't mean it doesn't work for other people. But I see a pattern here of you ignoring reality and having Stockholm syndrome.

Again, there is no point in moving "1 billion people" from Facebook to a "Facebook run AWS for social media". There is just no benefit other than for Facebook to avoid accountability. You are wasting your time if you think otherwise.

Just because you made the mistake buying into a shitty walled garden like iOS doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people.

So much misfires in one single sentence. Impressive.

  • "you made the mistake": I am not talking my phone, but from other people that I want to talk to.
  • "shitty walled garden like iOS": I may not like, and you may not like, but there are 20-30% of the whole world that to do prefer to have a phone that gives them a walled garden and gives them some peace of mind. But instead of accepting that other might have different values than you, you try to dismiss their values as secondary to your cause and you pass your values as something that should be universal. Are you noticing the pattern here?
  • doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people: if someone on Android can not have video calls via XMPP with someone on iOS, then no, it doesn't work for neither of them.

I see a pattern here of you ignoring reality

You want to keep believing that your solution is superior and that the problem is with everyone else that keeps choosing the wrong things? Fine, I will not be able to convince you otherwise. But to keep being presented with actual experience from other people and respond by saying that "they are ignoring reality"? This is just silly.

Well, keep repeating the same mistakes and find excuses for it all you want. I am not into "superior" solutions at all, but I don't think there is much point in perpetuating the same clearly failed approaches.
