I don't think about you at all.

And that's the problem.

Yeah I'm using Schildi at the moment as well. Thought since it's a fork of Element, and most people recognize its logo, I featured it instead.

That's what inspired me to make this actually.

As sad as it is to say, I have seen way too many people using it as their main chatting platform. So I had to include it.

Only one that I actually talk to

In terms of being useless, most certainly. But they are two separate services despite being owned by the same company.

It actually is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When you edit an E2E encrypted message, your client simply sends another E2E encrypted message telling your contact what to replace your previous message with.

Like I said, an Android phone does not equal a Pixel made by Google. If you are concerned about where the resources used to manufacture your device are from, get a Fairphone and flash Lineage/CalixOS on it. That way you are "supporting" Google in the smallest possible way and you can still use a smartphone.

I like Threema a lot, but it lacks basic features such as text editing, so I can't imagine recommending it to anyone.

Interesting. I found the option but despite editing the post and uploading the higher quality image, nothing seems to have changed.

Google is not a good company by any means, but when you buy their Pixel it's your device. You can unlock its bootloader and install whichever OS you like. And even with the stock Android you've always been free to do anything. There are no features built into Android that lock you in and force the other side to buy one as well. Whereas Apple's iMessage is available on iPhones only, peer pressuring others into buying one. Saying that buying an iPhone and an Android phone is morally the same is dishonest at the least. Especially since Android is just an open platform and each manufacturer is using their own modified version. Brands such as Xiaomi or Huawei went even beyond the software skin and optimized their ROMs to run especially well with their own hardware. If you buy an iPhone, you are forcing those around you into buying a specific device made by a specific company that loves playing Monopoly a bit too much.

https://slrpnk.net/comment/6754380 Nobody is forcing me to buy their phones or their stock version of android though. A lot of people manage to live just fine with fully de-googled roms, installable even on google's own phones.
