  I’m not interested in arguing and have already shared my experience, hope you have a nice rest of your day. From their perspective, “texting” most people just quit working and someone had to “fix” it by switching them back to their phone’s default sms client. It’s pretty clear you haven’t been tech support for an elder, a lot of people aren’t aware of these things or making real decisions about them at all. Texting at all is a big ask, they need help looking at/sending pictures, a separate app is way too much friction

  I don’t have a screenshot handy, but it was very clearly communicated through both colour and iconography whether or not a conversation was encrypted. For people who still couldn’t tell, like my elderly relatives, removing sms support meant they went from 10% encrypted communications back to zero and forced the rest of us to expose ourselves again to stay in touch

  Deku SMS (on fdroid) is nice to use and all, but I’m not really sure how “ethical and pro-privacy” can apply to an sms client

  I felt their reasoning was disingenuous and that supporting sms had been a massive driver of adoption, a lot of “normal” people used it as a default messenger on the advice of the nerds in their lives without any idea what signal or sms were. Removing that support was a significant rugpull and measurably detrimental to their stated goal of private communication as a default

  It used to, pulling that was their biggest mistake since requiring a phone number and made me trust them a lot less

  Beeper is just as proprietary as whatsapp, all you’d be doing is adding another link in the corpo chain that’s handling your messages

  If you can’t get off whatsapp, just locking down its permissions is probably a better move. Do consider never shutting up about signal in said group chat, though ;)

  “if you don’t want to work, then that becomes your job”

  I genuinely enjoy working to directly better my situation. It’s completely different from being exploited to keep enough points in a bank account to survive

  I don’t know the science and have never heard those claims, but I do know critters and they sure are friendly. I would say the single easiest critter to pet, right up there with deer. They are absolutely aware that no one wants to eat them and being cute gets em fed

  Jesus was a dirty homeless activist with no love for the institutions of his time. Would genuinely fit in better in under any overpass than in any church. Cool dude.
