Re #WhatsApp interoperability: am I the only one who is smelling malicious compliance here?
Why are the only solutions compatible with Meta's messenger platform coming from complete unknown corners of the interwebz, have no user-base and no history of previous offerings? Why is there zero knowledge about the actual humans developing these products? Does anyone know anything about them?

@fnwbr I heard its because they are gonna be used as a test to whatsap interoperability and because using bigger aps would threathen whatsap power.
I think its something like: "ok ok i will allow iteroperability BUT with only two apps noone will know about", because if there were like, Line or somethig similar, a lot of people would migrate to them. Its like a form of protection of its bussiness
@FrutigerAero00 Funny coincidence: the day after you replied the CEO of #Haiket Alexander Narest reached out to me, after I had contacted him exactly 1 month ago.
He forwarded me to a marketing person at https://two-plus.ai. None of this inspires confidence with me.
