Strawman, one of those big words people use when they can’t make a decent argument.
Would it be that difficult to have two versions of the app then? One without sms for the more security conscious and easily distracted people, and one with sms, that I could install on any grandma’s phone?
Difficulty of implementation was never an argument, only ideological ones, with which Signal fucked over so many people. Literally all of my Signal contacts have gone offline soon after they axed the sms support, and so I have no use for Signal at all.
So, mission accomplished I guess. Secure messaging has won- oh wait, everyone is back on WhatsApp.
All my friends and familiy are still on signal.
This is a you problem not a signal problem.
Maybe you should have told your familiy why facebook is bad instead of being “look fancy chat”
I never needed the sms tool(who writes sms anyways?) what i need is more secure coms that I can use.
One thing that still bothers me is that with the phone number…. I am still waiting for uniq identifiers to uncouple my phone from my messenger!
I’m not here to do Signal’s marketing for them, especially since I never liked it in the first place (due to the phone number thing). They had a good thing going for being an acceptable alternative, and they fucked it up. Definitely not my problem.
