@_noid_ @philosophene @signalapp I guess I dont understand the problem. why do you need sms support in signal?

@ljean @WellKnownAlias @signalapp The person having to deal with one more app is the problem, not the company removing features with fundamentally broken security.

@signalapp What are you thinking? This is terrible. Wrong choice. Make them different colors or something. Way easier.

@signalapp It's a terrible idea! I barely get any SMS from humans, but i can't get rid of SMS from my mobile service provider and other services. My main struggle with friends is to agree on one messenger, because nobody wants to use multiple apps.

@signalapp if it aint broke, don't fix it

@AndrewNowlin @signalapp Which means that it was a problem they tried to tackle but it is not realistic or good use of their limited resources to keep the development of said features

@docwho76 @philosophene @signalapp Because right now I have 1 app for secure and unsecure texting. I don't see that as a problem that needs solving

@signalapp This sucks. This is going to cause me a great deal of trouble dealing with my non-technical friends and family. I don't see any reason to do this. I'm perfectly capable of understanding which messages are encrypted and which are not.

@signalapp terrible, terrible decision, i most likely wont be able to use signal for most of my texts anymore, and most of my normal friends will probably move to some other insecure app the moment they see this

@signalapp This is a terrible call IMO. This is going to kill adoption and utilization. And for what? What’s the end goal with this decision?

@markus_ottela @WellKnownAlias @signalapp Exactly! Usability problems will be exacerbated not addressed by this terrible user-hostile decision!

(@SandtheB) reported
@signalapp SMS is a legacy service that is STILL not going anywhere.. even if everyone on planet earth gets an iPhone SMS would still be used in low key ways. #DeleteSignal

@signalapp Absolute trashcan decision. What a way to kneecap your own app, piss off your current users, and turn away new users. Oof, just so, so bad. Talk about an unforced error/own goal.

@signalapp This is brutal. What a terrible decision! Goodbye Signal, it was nice while it lasted

@docwho76 @philosophene @signalapp Not super sure I'm getting what you're laying down. The fact that there's a myriad of messaging apps is a problem, but you decide which ones you participate in. In this case it's a matter of having encrypted/unencrypted text messages in one place
