@warheadssour @signalapp I'm a comp sci major, I'm perfectly aware of the limitations of SMS. I'm also aware of the limitations of parents, grand parents, acquaintances, etc who make up the majority of my contact list who use the default message service installed on their app and will not change.

@signalapp I guess you're about to find out how much of the reason you're the "most widely used private messaging service on the planet" is because you allow people to just open and send without thinking about whether this particular person will get the message as Signal or SMS.

@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 Interesting that some users have problems differentiating between SMS and Signal messaging after THE USER personally set Signal as their *default* SMS app. List of UI/UX features Signal has to communicate privacy status: 1. Different colored message bubbles for signal vs. sms

@mer__edith @signalapp True, unless the phone the app is on is already infected (e.g a keylogger) Which i think could be an issue with phones in china or, other countries… Ah wait @signalappde is blocked in china :/ (verification w/ number)

@signalapp I'm having a problem signing up for the app, it's saying Network request failed when trying to send the verification text. Have enabled all permissions, network signal is strong, app is up to date. Any help appreciated please?

@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

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

"Mikal, are you sure that's a good idea?"
(@MikalJakubal) reported
@mer__edith @byjacobward @signalapp Amusing emphasis at the end about "a new business model" — IDK because paying a small fee for a useful service is some revolutionary experiment now? (Though of course it might take a while for people to get over the Trojan Horse idea that everything online should be free.)

@signalapp Could you maybe not? This is a terrible decision for users.

@specialjesse @signalapp Same. I've had a lot of success getting people on signal because they could replace their default texting app and automatically get secure messaging for free. OTOH I've had issues messaging people who use signal but not as their default and am forced to use SMS.
