All my family uses Android, except for a few exceptions. They all dropped signal when it lost sms support. So we use sms instead, fucking cool move signal.
We don’t use Signal for SMS, we use Signal for E2E encryption. Signal for SMS is useless.
I’ve basically started telling people to either message me on Signal or I likely won’t respond in a timely manner, if ever. Not my problem. Urgent? Better call.

Of course you don’t because it doesn’t exist anymore. When it did, it was popular for exactly the same reason as iMessage: if the person you’re messaging also has Signal, they get automatically upgraded to private and secure communication, if they don’t it just gets sent as SMS. In this way you don’t have to bounce back and forth between apps to figure out which one your recipient is using.

Dick move? Maybe. But fuck SMS and fuck iMessage.
Yeah I don’t want to be a dick to my friends and family I guess.
Nah, that’s like saying “I won’t respond to a fax in a timely manner”.
SMS is dated/dying/dead
