No need to ban what will, by default, become an unsustainable business model.
Beeper’s business model is actually based on people wanting all their messaging services in one app so they’re not always separated.
I don’t like Beeper personally, but this kind of misunderstands what Beeper intends to do, which is bigger and more thoughtful than what Sunbird is doing, which is just iMessage.
I prefer Beeper because I don’t need multiple other chat apps installed and grabbing my data.
Yes, you have to trust Beeper.
I personally found it when I was forced to use WhatsApp with my landlord, and refuse to install any meta apps on my phone. I’ve since linked Telegram and Discord.
Not to mention many of those apps require permissions to work, but I can easily deny them on Beeper and Beeper doesn’t care.
