        Apparently there was/is a messaging service somewhere hidden in the core Fi service. I just copy pasted this list from someone else tho. No idea how accurate this is.

        Believe it or not, I have not actually used all these services on the list lol

      I’m pretty sure the employees working on it don’t have a say on it. Someone at the top decided to do it and they just have to pretend they believe on it because they have to be “team players”.
