    Signal kinda put themselves out of the messaging app battle when they dropped SMS support

    I totally get why they did it, but I think a lot of people stopped using it for this reason, unfortunately

      I don’t really want to start a debate on the Signal SMS dropout but …

      They could have put a big red warning and a disclaimer you have to read once for the unsecured SMS. It would have been fine.

      Yes, you would have to maintain that but I think it would definitely have been worth it considering how much reach they lost dropping this feature.

      I stopped using Signal when they did, and that’s one less tech user advertising their secure app.

      It’s a shame because I think this will slowly kill the project.
