Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
No comment praises or links this blog's writing. The one comment discusses RCS messaging fragmentation across carriers, Google and Apple, so the posts appear to cover wireless and telecom industry topics.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
RCS isn't "a standard", it is a dozen or so. Every carrier does it differently, so does Google, so does maybe Apple. The ecosystem will be fragmented along carrier lines and OSes. And the software is a Google (Android branded, but same difference) thing, so of course they can and will kill it at some point. I'm not posting FUD, I'm trying to point out that RCS is looking dead on arrival. Industry people even said so…
