Well, that must be waaaaaaay back then. I’ve been using Signal for quite a while now, and I am not sure what you mean then.

Dr GPT found something on it. It was a federation between Silent Phone 2014-2015 (a secure messaging app developed by Silent Circle, a company co-founded by Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP) and TextSecure (the precursor to signal).

You stop that, my first digital text message was on irc. I’m not ancient yet. :)
