@casey_anderson @signalapp Really super annoyed by this. I think it’s a terrible idea. Forcing me to use the Android Messenger app means I will forever hate the people who made this decision.

@signalapp I really don't understand this move at all. What's the point of this service if I can't replace my messaging service with it?

@signalapp this is a terrible idea. the only reason I was making any progress at all on getting people to use Signal was because they could just use it like a better SMS app. at this point it's essentially useless to me because it'll be impossible to convince anyone else to switch.

@signalapp You're hiring to fix the issue with SMS so we can keep using Signal..... right? Otherwise, you're hiring people to build an app many are going to abandon when you stop working with SMS.

Good to hear #facebook, #instagram are down. Proof that putting all your eggs in 1 basket is not a good idea @joinmastodon and @PixelFed for your photos and message people using @signalapp.

@signalapp why are you not addressing the SMS verification issues in #Iran ? You have no idea how disappointed I am in you right now. #IranRevolution2022

@signalapp This is a terrible call, and i'd encourage you to consider alternatives. Colour coding for secure and non secure messages as suggested below would be good

@PhoenixFire_YYC @signalapp Of course they haven't. The devs all use signal to communicate and they don't need SMS so they don't know what you want your problem is. Meanwhile all the pwopl I've convinced, who are slowly bring more people in will all go back to only SMS overnight.

@DethVeggie @signalapp It was already like this on iphones. I'm annoyed to, but will help me with people who do understand the difference between sms and signal. People who used both on signal were confusing, unless they understood the difference. -ENOTENOUGHLETTERSTEXPLAIN

@signalapp This is a terrible idea. The reason I've been able to convince so many non technical people to use signal is because the cost is so low because they can keep using SMS. This decision means all those people will go back to only using SMS...

@mer__edith @signalapp Signal's user base isn't nearly large enough to make a change like this go over the way you guys seem to be trying to pretend it's going to. I imagine the 20 or so contacts of mine who I could previously rely on to check Signal messages, will be down to <10 soon.

@mereteresa @signalapp can you enlighten us about the issue of this announcement ?

@signalapp Almost everyone I know who uses Signal will refuse to use 2 messaging apps with some friends and family on one and the rest on the other. This is a terrible decision.

@signalapp This is a huge "know your audience" mishap. Do you know how much of your customers use Signal as their default messenger? I know many folks who only use Signal because it can easily be their default app. All the above issues can be addressed with UI fixes. Major misstep.
