US is still stuck in green bubble vs blue bubble mentality, i don't see any ripple effect happening.
You know, I have never, not even once, run into that. Not even with my kid at school.
Nobody gives a fuck that I've seen. The kids don't use sms at all between each other, nor imessage. They use discord. And that's the entire damn school, no kid gives a damn about any other service as a primary platform. Even the tech geek kids use discord for their friends, and stick with signal or similar options for anything else, and only use sms with relatives. That includes the otherwise open source loving computer club that mostly uses Linux when they have a choice and complain about being to use ipads for school work.
Same with kids a in other schools that I'm aware of.
Might be a southern thing, might be a po' folks thing since we're a fairly rural and low income county. I dunno the why of it, but the whole imessgae color thing isn't a thing I've run into irl, ever.
I don't know, mate. I live in Europe and that's what I hear from the media and on social platforms. Maybe it's all false and you live in a land of unicorns...
Soooo, you don't live in America, but you're making claims about people in America doing something, based on second (or even third) hand information?
Not exactly the best policy overall. Yeah, anecdotes are anecdotes, but boots on the ground is still better than binoculars from afar
