While Messages and RCS is how Google wants you to message friends, Google Chat also fits that role and the company today reminded us...

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.

    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?
