Wow, apparently Signal is going to stop supporting SMS soon. That really sucks. That was one of the killer features of Signal.
So for all the people who I convinced to start using Signal because it works as an SMS replacement, sorry. 🙁
@pganssle But what do you still use SMS for? Isn’t that included with every phone anyway?

@trinsec I use it for interacting with the people and institutions that don’t use Signal, which is most of them…
A huge amount of the value add of Signal was that it is “SMS that gets encrypted when the other person is using it, too.”
Now it’s a proprietary messaging app where you have to use your phone number as your username, which is, not nearly so attractive.
