@bblboy54 @justinede @signalapp Maybe you can convince a few more people to give signal a shot and bring down that 90% a bit.

@justinede @signalapp I understand that but the problem is that 90% of the people I message don't use signal.... the chances that I open Signal for the other 10% is going to become very rare which actually harms privacy in another way. Signal had a more accessible barrier to entry. It no longer will.

@signalapp removing SMS support is such a terrible decision, what to use now? @session_app - please implement?

@warheadssour @signalapp I'm a comp sci major, I'm perfectly aware of the limitations of SMS. I'm also aware of the limitations of parents, grand parents, acquaintances, etc who make up the majority of my contact list who use the default message service installed on their app and will not change.

@signalapp Wow, this is terrible news :( I use Signal as my default messaging app so that it's seamless to talk to people that won't or can't use Signal, mainly iMessage users on iPhone. How does this HELP goals of security and privacy?? The UI clearly indicates if it's E2EE or not.

@davesahd @shipwreckedcrew it would be great to see something like @signalapp provide a payment service.

@signalapp ppl having problem getting sign in codes in iran, could you remove the "Signal" word or any pattern could be associated with Signal to avoid this? Or simply using email to sign up? That will be a big help!

@markus_ottela @aikensource @signalapp Sadly, being elitist does not help "normal" people transition to secure apps such as Signal.

@signalapp I guess you're about to find out how much of the reason you're the "most widely used private messaging service on the planet" is because you allow people to just open and send without thinking about whether this particular person will get the message as Signal or SMS.
