Does anyone know where this is at? I thought WhatsApp were being forced by the EU in 2024 to introduce this under the Digital Markets App? I’m googling, but am finding very little info.

It would be great if we could use Signal to communicate with WhatsApp groups. The sooner I can delete WhatsApp the better.

    Federating would mean handing off chat metadata to Meta and other for-profit companies in the future.

    I don’t see how anyone excited to use Signal would like that. It very much defeats the purpose of using Signal.

      The benefit would be the ability to chat with those refusing to move away from WhatsApp without having to use the Whats App. I get why they aren’t going for it, but I guess it could be handy.

          I haven’t had them work realibly enough to rely on them

          Haven’t heard of that one, aside from the iMessage thing which didn’t really make a good impression on me. But outside of that it sounds interesting.

            I’ve had pretty good luck with everything except Google Voice, since it requires Electron and the Docker containers don’t use it. But I’ve had good results withbridging Signal, Discord, and WhatsApp in my local install.
