Beeper is so cool, being able to dump every chat app into one app and receive messages from meta platforms without having their apps installed is very handy.
Meta did boot me out of messenger recently and said I can’t use 3rd party tools to access their services or something which was annoying.
As I started the process for logging back into the messenger account I stopped and uninstalled beeper, not because it’s not awesome but because it made me realise all these chat platforms are just noise,
Years at this point. Was a major advantage to using Matrix over pretty much anything else as I wanted a unified messaging system that I could self-host.

Never have issues with the likes of Meta when self-hosting bridges for Matrix. Beeper's centralisation is likely the issue.
How long you been running these bridges??

How is it possible to use a 3rd party app for closed protocols like WhatsApp? Is this legal? or they got special licenses that allow them to do it?
