    Beeper sucks. Here’s why:

    1. You increase your attack surface and downgrade your security to the level of Matrix, which is not that great and collects pretty much all of the metadata.

    2. These companies do not want you using their services this way. For that reason they are always trying to break the bridges and in my case constantly logging you out of your account and threatening to delete it due to “suspicious activity”.

    3. They lie about supporting SMS and RCS, instead opting to Bridge to Google Messenger, another proprietary 3rd party service.
