Comment on What's the deal with Signal?
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoThe problem is that most people don’t want multiple text apps, they just want one. I had gotten a number of people using signal, and it was secure when we talked, but when signal dropped SMS, almost every one of them stopped using it, so then none of their conversations were secure.

Yeah, the never-ending weighting between convenience and security.
But are you going to tell me that those people don’t have Whatsapp, Threema, Telegram or any other IM installed and just use plain SMS instead?

Yep, just the default messaging app on their phone.

Americans do a lot of SMS.
