Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage

Reply in thread

I have to say that in Denmark at least, iMessage seems to thrive quite well. There are quite a lot using Facebook messenger, but SMS and iMessage is a close second. This is entirely from my point of view. Never met anyone using the examples you mention, unless they are communicating with foreigners on a daily basis.

Why !politics and !news are US centric and then we have !worldnews for the rest of the world? Am I the only one finding this slightly arrogant?

‘Politik’ is the same in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) as well, so that would have to be split up as well. The same could be said about politics as Ireland, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and so on, have the same word for that.

If you create a community you should append the nation if it’s a common word. Otherwise it should default to worldwide.
