okay, so, the idea was initially to build something akin to SMS/MMS in the way it's used but make it more ready for the modern age

just a couple of problems:

• End-To-End-Encryption isn't officially a part of RCS itself thanks to Telcom companies in the US not being allowed to add that
• Google Messages is literally the only way to use RCS right now.
• It's "open"-ness is quite disputed due to Google's control over it

really, we should either be using Matrix, or at the very least build out XMPP into something more modern.
