I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

The EU is forcing the big chat companies to open their gates. They have until April of next year to comply, so we might see a common protocol for chat pretty soon

This one I hadn't heard about until now, do you have a link to some more information?

Digital market act https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/index_en

Chat apps are only part of it. It will force iOS and android to offer competing app market too.

Oh, I hadn't realized chat apps were covered by it, but that sounds promising! Thanks for the link 🙂
