    This country is star topology in every form and one massive hub just went down Don't use Telegram, use @signalapp or @element_hq instead

  • jthigh ‘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!

  • 129584709_ 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.

  • twinfolktech 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

  • bryaneitz Bryan Eitz (@bryaneitz) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp Thanks for reiterating the talking points and how it's tough for you personally. Doesn't help at all. The rest of us will just stop using signal. Was nice while it lasted

  • sysgeek sysgeek (@sysgeek) reported

    @signalapp I hope you all inform your users via the app about this and give very clear instructions for the non-technical users on what to do. Many may choose to leave your service and they need to know that just uninstalling the app will break communication with every other signal user.

  • 129584709_ uncle ted (@129584709_) reported

    @iamed2 @mer__edith @signalapp The ratio of people that are getting the decision vs the people trying to defend the awful, terrible decision speaks volumes. Hopefully they will reverse this.

  • Hirsutable Spooky Scary Kevinton (@Hirsutable) reported

    @NuclearTakes @signalapp I'm not happy with this because I use signal for everything, but every signal user I know has run into this problem. Family members who don't respond because they don't realize they need to check in. It is probably for the best, but it WILL make it harder to get new users.

  • Kerastes33 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.

  • jamesorinoko jamesorinoko (@jamesorinoko) reported

    @signalapp Terrible move.

  • DirtyZero ND (@DirtyZero) reported

    @signalapp why has this terrible idea garnered 0 media attention @ChrisLAS ?

  • p410n3 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

  • 129584709_ 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.

  • B_Nied Nied (@B_Nied) reported

    Oh and on top of everything else the sms export tool doesn't work. I suppose if @signalapp is committed to burning down their userbase they might as well make the transition away as painful as possible.

  • gunslingerfry Matthew Fry 🇺🇦 🌻 (@gunslingerfry) reported

    @signalapp FWIW, the only problems I've had are that 1. signal is set up with a silly registration system tied to a phone number that doesn't properly unregister people when they uninstall and I send signal messages to nobody.
