Bummer, I wonder if blue bubbles is affected. I'm considering getting a cheap used Mac to be a relay.

Why do you care about that?
Because when the friend group goes on an outing, the planning is happening in an iMessage group chat, because it's a group of 15-20 people who all have iPhones, already have iMessage installed, and are not used to juggling multiple chat apps because everyone else they know has an iPhone.
I care about using iMessage because it's 1000% easier for me to set up blue bubbles compared to:
- Convincing 15-20 people that it's worth all of them juggling multiple chat apps just for the convenience of 1 person (me) or
- Having one of my friends relay every change of plans and update on who's coming from the iMessage group to me via signal.
Every matrix user bridging for iMessage should be worried about getting locked out I think.
