Unfortunately Whatsapp replaced texting for around 80 % of the world.
Not a fan of FB, but the main reason for WhatsApp's success was SMS sucking hairy balls.

Wondering how Facebook communicates now internally - most of their work streams likely depend on Facebooks systems which are all down. Can engineers and security teams even access prod systems anymore? Like, would "Bastion" hosts be reachable? Wonder if they use Signal and Slack now?

Facebook down, WhatsApp down, but Signal still works. Time for a change? EDIT: Yes, Signal is not federated, but that's what people are at least ready to consider as a WhatsApp alternative. I also created Matrix / Element account, and had 0 contacts using it already.
Signal had their own share of downtime. How about going to a federated system instead of repeating the same mistakes? ( https://matrix.org )

Of all the big tech companies Facebook is the only one where it can completely disappear overnight and my life would be completely unaffected (or possibly improved by not having to explain to people I don't use facebook, please email or text me your invitations rather than use messenger). If Google, Amazon, Netflix, Apple disappeared the story would be completely different.

So, does anyone know where to one can buy an LTE gateway with a serial port interface? Asking for a friend.
