WTF? Android users dislike SMS? Since when?

I've been on the Android newsgroup for years and NOBODY says they dislike
SMS messages, Jolly Roger... Nobody.

Methinks you're ignorant if that's all you have to respond to facts.

You have a short memory because we proved, long ago, it's only the Apple
users who are forced to use a single default messenger app who complain.
> Apparently they don't know about your vaunted PulseSMS...

Notice how iKooks are not only completely ignorant that the Android
messengers do everything that the iMessage app does - but - in response to
that fact (which they hate!) iKooks respond with stunted childish insults.

*Facts about Apple _scare_ you to death, don't they Jolly Roger*

1. Jolly Roger ===> Responds to all facts about Apple with insults
2. nospam ===> Deflects all facts about Apple to whataboutism tactics
3. Alan Browne ===> Completely ignorant of even the walled garden

Remove the iKooks from the Apple newsgroups and this ng would elevate
instantly to the communicative discourse of _adult OS newsgroups_.

Little Arlen *desperately* wants to pretend he doesn't now the context
of the above statement is Android users participating in chats with
iMessage users. Luckily adults understand context even when little Arlen
pretends it doesn't exist. And the fact is Android users have complained
about being limited to plain SMS communications when conversing with
iMessage users for many years. Here's an example of one such person from
way back in 2015:

Anyone know how to get iMessage on Android?

Before you hate, the reason im asking is because lots of my friends are
in group chats in iMessage, and you cant add an SMS contact into a group
chat. So if there;s a way, and you know it, feel free to reply to the
thread. Thanks

Android users have even gone so far as to use apps with servers in China
to avoid using SMS when conversing with iMessage users. Here's an
article from 2013 warning Andoird users of the security and privacy
implications of using such an app:

iMessage for Android looks like a great way to compromise your security

> Methinks you're ignorant if that's all you have to respond to facts.

Projection from a brain-dead Apple-hating troll. To wit, little Arlen
actually believes Apple users can't use other popular messaging apps:

LOL! Arlen is a true clown! 🤡

Translation: "*PLEASE* everyone, don't listen to these people who call
me out on my weak, lazy trolls! Listen to *ME*!!!!

Adult question...

What do you think you can do with iMessage that PulseSMS doesn't do?

In both cases, you're signing into the mothership to get the functionality.

Now back to the ADULT QUESTION for Jolly Roger...

*What do you think you can do with iMessage that PulseSMS doesn't do?*

HINT: You're afraid of the question, aren't you.

You know why?
I do.

Except you touted the functionality of one...
