tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.

Huh? They confused 1st of July with 1st of April?

Another chat app???

They don’t get tired announcing and killing all of those chat apps???

Who’s going to bother inviting friends to chat in a platform that will be killed in one year max???

All of my friend group was on hangouts. I don’t think Google realizes how monumentally stupid it was to kill off hangouts. Discord was really picking up in popularity and when hangouts died I moved the last of friend group to Discord.

Why in the fuck would I move them off discord back to Google?
