    They killed sms for bullshit reasons but they gave us stories

    Stories, on an app for secure communication. All the sudden all my family that I set up with it who know nothing about encryption stopped using it because they don’t want two texting apps. It’s border on useless for me now because I only know like 2 people who still have it

      Yeah Signal is completely irrelevant to me now after they dropped SMS integration. The centralized servers and closed source servers don’t help either. Matrix/Element is much closer to what I hoped Signal would become. Matrix has its own issues, but I at least agree more with their direction.

      encrypted stories on an app for secure communication make more sense than unencrypted SMS.

        Except that the whole selling point was you could replace your SMS app so you got secure communication without having yet another app. I dropped it when they dropped SMS.
