I’m certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?

Not an unfair complaint against Apple, but ignores Google’s/Android’s problematic “support” for RCS, and in this context of this comment seems to imply that What’sApp isn’t “closed” like iMessage.

apple hates open standards

What about WhatsApp is open?

Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.

I thank you for your response, and generally think you are right. Perhaps I should rephrase my question a bit to: is the existence of multiple communities on a given subject a feature of Lemmy (perhaps even unique to Lemmy) we should expect and embrace, or do you think communities coalescing into few/one will occur naturally?

Ron Desantis. He certainly looks younger than many other candidates, but he still looks like a typical presidential candidate age. When I found out he graduated high school the same year as I, I’ve never felt more old.

Age

in case you’re wondering.
