I really hope Rakuten buys it.

why do you think they won't enshittify it? they own viber, see what they did there. ads all over the app, some in channels you can't disable. once it asked me about the data collection I allow, I had to manually disable it with dozens of toggles for all their "business partners", and it took at least half an hour.

I don't know what viber is. I also don't think they won't enshittify it. I just hope to buy more time until a similar service or technology appears.
