@wint_rmute @signalapp That's a good start. I still think this is a terrible idea.

@_Stralor @signalapp @doctorow SMS bot exploitation is a real thing. It costs companies trying to run a secure, honest service pretty hefty sums, especially if they’re utilising affordable alternatives that don’t have bells and whistles. Like, say, a nonprofit might.

@Phoul @signalapp I'm dealing with the exact same issue. I don't understand how this makes sense.

Since @signalapp is dropping SMS support, I am dropping signal. Over the years signal has been a source of hope for Android users. They may as well be just like any other centralized service who says "just trust us, we've got your best interests in mind".

@punkt A better headset would be nice? And a solution to the @signalapp problem - that you cant have a desktop vs. running same time as pigeon, because no camera...

So, what SMS app are folks using now that @signalapp has decided to make their terrible decision? Looking for suggestions.

@780thC @WIRED @signalapp otherwise sanction Telegram (if possible) and cut the kremlin off, although that will only help so much.

@signalapp as a long time signal user. I'm disappointed to know signal no longer will offer sms service. Signal thinks that doing this may encourage more to switch to signal. 1% to 10% of people that will swap to signal. Sadly i will have to go back to a different provider.

@fanboynz @naomibrockwell @signalapp It is, like all other services that you use are tied to either your phone number or your email. If you care, get a disposable "receive SMS" service or a burner phone, register and set Signal PIN so that anyone else cannot transfer your account even if they get the same number.

@nowherecee @signalapp Oh no, is it going down?

@signalapp Ive used your service both for public texts and secure messaging for a good while. In the long run with abandon the service of public texting on your products, is one of the most stupid decision you guys done tbh. You will lose customers in the long run. Its a shame.

@signalapp my app keeps crashing for my XR what’s going on? I’m deployed right now and this is the army’s source of communication. Retrieving data error and it keeps closing

@kscottz @signalapp 💯%. They're going to remove a key feature that brought users to them in the first place (hi) because they can't (or don't want to) put forth the effort into solving a UI/UX problem? I'd also pay for it but, in all honesty, I'll likely stop using Signal once SMS support is gone.

Constant issues with @signalapp reliability and general slowness sending messages lately. Anything I can do other than uninstall / re-install?

@BukhaledAUH @signalapp #signalapp @signalapp It is still the ONLY way to chat with 100% of my friends and family. Any other service gives <10%. We understand the concerns, and if Apple ever concedes and supports RCS, then we'll be happy to swap SMS. Until then, Signal needs to just keep it.
