    My family has a signal group. I started it two years ago.

    Almost no one pays any attention to it, unless they accidentally open the app once a month, but they’re all still there and can be spoken to.

    I put a PSA out a month ago that I’ll no longer respond on Facebook Messenger or SMS after the turn of the year. Tough shit. There was some groaning but, if there’s no other way, either use Signal or invest in a Pigeon coop and get training.

      Any particular reason you are abandoning SMS? Any particular reason for the strict rule?

        RCS ain’t universal. I only have it with some iPhone users and the rare Pixel.

        If it’s what’s for dinner, I don’t care. Musk can know I had some hamburger steak.

        If it’s the code to your tablet, mom, ask on Signal.
