I suspect the downvotes are because everyone knows there are alternatives to iMessage out there. It isn’t relevant to this particular topic.

“All you have to do is convert everyone you’ve ever known to use a different app” is... not the proposition some people think it is. Kudos to anyone that’s pulled it off, but I won’t.

That's just gatekeeping nonsense.

Discussing alternatives are always relevant and popular on HN.

Like talking about macbooks on Thinkpad topics. Everyone knows macbooks exists, it's still fine to talk about them in non-macbook topics.

That’s the beauty of the voting system. No one is banning the discussion, they’re just expressing their own disinterest in it.
