@signalapp You need to fix your metadata issues and use of email and/or phone number; I'm sticking with Threema and Session for the time being...

@BukhaledAUH @signalapp #signalapp @signalapp It is still the ONLY way to chat with 100% of my friends and family. Any other service gives <10%. We understand the concerns, and if Apple ever concedes and supports RCS, then we'll be happy to swap SMS. Until then, Signal needs to just keep it.

@signalapp every update has a dumber and dumber add on. Stories and chat notifications, a. Dumb drag down, a silly voice call feature. The original format (minus calls) with sms ability was damn near THE PERFECT app imo.

@doctorow @devtrevjournals @signalapp right, they addressed this aspect, which I still argue feels like a rug pull. it's their UX issue to solve, and they've thrown in the towel on it to users' detriment

@signalapp removing SMS support is not going to help privacy when you lose a huge portion of your user base! And your rationale about "hidden costs" is a red herring - people already had those costs. Poor decision.

@mhauken Sorry, I avoid apps or service that are exclusive to iOS or that require iCloud. Many superior cross-platform note options. @signalapp for quick notes to self.

@fanboynz @naomibrockwell @signalapp It is, like all other services that you use are tied to either your phone number or your email. If you care, get a disposable "receive SMS" service or a burner phone, register and set Signal PIN so that anyone else cannot transfer your account even if they get the same number.

@punkt A better headset would be nice? And a solution to the @signalapp problem - that you cant have a desktop vs. running same time as pigeon, because no camera...

@780thC @WIRED @signalapp otherwise sanction Telegram (if possible) and cut the kremlin off, although that will only help so much.

@EdHerdman @signalapp we have very different experiences all my business, family, and friend connections use signal by preference, with sms as a nuisance legacy issue, often only for dealing with mfa requirements by other apps i haven't sent an "actual" sms message in years

@wint_rmute @signalapp That's a good start. I still think this is a terrible idea.

So, what SMS app are folks using now that @signalapp has decided to make their terrible decision? Looking for suggestions.

(@realTrevDev) reported
Since @signalapp is dropping SMS support, I am dropping signal. Over the years signal has been a source of hope for Android users. They may as well be just like any other centralized service who says "just trust us, we've got your best interests in mind".
