ΔI ₳ristotle (@AiAristotle) reported@signalapp Absolutely terrible decision. Is there a single Signal user that wants to use a separate app for SMS? Is SMS so hard to maintain that @signalapp is the only developer unable to it? You'll lose far more users than spamming our contact lists (again) will gain. 👎👎
-
‘ᎫᎢ’ ᎻⅠᏀΗ (@jthigh) reported@signalapp This is a TERRIBLE idea. I think literally any other way of dealing with this concern would better. You seem to be missing one of the biggest attractions and use cases of your user community!

🇪🇺 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported@EmKaySr @signalapp Why not? Whats the problem?

uncle ted (@129584709_) reported@iamed2 @mer__edith @signalapp The ratio of people that are hating the decision vs the people trying to defend the awful, terrible decision speaks volumes. Hopefully they will reverse this.

Ray - Twinfolk Tech📱💻🎧 (@twinfolktech) reported@septienes @signalapp The decision literally came out of nowhere. It’s almost like they don’t want people to easily be convinced to join their platform. Now I’m gonna run into the same problems I had trying to convince iOS users to join Signal. It is just a very poor decision IMO

jamesorinoko (@jamesorinoko) reported@signalapp Terrible move.

Raymond T. Anderson (@Kerastes33) reported@signalapp This is a terrible blow to privacy by default. Right now even my casual texts with a small group of friends are encrypted because they use Signal as their messaging app. Without SMS Signal becomes just another app to bother with, and they won't. My privacy with them is lost.

p410n3 (@p410n3) reported@bblboy54 @CircuitSwan @signalapp But - that just means your messages have been unencrypted for all that time anyway. At this point signal did nothing to really help you that the sms app on your phone didn't. I don't get it. What am I not seeing here
-
Zelendel (@Zelendel1) reported@jcurtiswood @Android @signalapp Signal is ok but to be honest, I have zero trust in the dev or the servers it uses. That what it all boils down to. And now without sms signal is a dead option

uncle ted (@129584709_) reported@JINORU_ @specialjesse @signalapp Everyone who wants the SMS feature to stay knows this. They get it. Unfortunately there are people (more now) that won't use or will just switch. Signal will become more desolate and donations will dry up. This is a terrible ******* call.
-
Zoiks (@Zoiks) reported@signalapp This is a terrible outcome. Not only will it cause some people to leave altogether - meaning they use less secure messaging options but it will mean there is a network effect from doing so. For me besides the security of signal, it's "killer feature" is SMS support.

MiniDisc.wiki - 30th Anniversary November 1st! 💽 (@MiniDisc_wiki) reported@signalapp Add stories, remove SMS.... This is a terrible decision. And we know terrible software, we used to deal with SonicStage.

uncle ted (@129584709_) reported@JINORU_ @specialjesse @signalapp Everyone who wants the SMS feature to say knows this. They get it. Unfortunately there are people (more now) that won't use or will just switch. Signal will become more desolate and donations will dry up. This is a terrible ******* call.

Maddog (@Tolkienista) reported@olmaverick @signalapp Because signal was the only service that allowed me to integrate SMS and more secure messaging without being owned by a tech giant. It wasn't perfect, or perfectly secure, but it was getting closer and letting me communicate with people who weren't on the privacy bandwagon yet.
