    You heard a cool new word and used it where it doesn’t work, this feature isn’t bad at all. If Signal didn’t alienate a large number of users by removing SMS maybe switching would be more viable.

      Yes I dropped signal when it stopped supporting sms. That was a really dumb choice and I honestly don’t know why they did it

          Because 90%+ of my contacts use sms (USA) and keeping touch across multiple apps is a huge pain. Like remembering which contact uses which service is stupid.

        The enshittification actually began several years ago, back when FB bought WhatsApp. That was the moment you gave up on privacy, the moment that was a clear sign that it was all going to go downhill from there. If y’all didn’t quit WhatsApp at that time, then you bought it upon yourselves. The truth is, you’ve been using a shitty service for a long time and whoring your data to Meta and making Zuckerberg richer, so this latest feature bloat or w/e isn’t the least bit interesting.

    Unless I’ve missed something I don’t see how this makes WhatsApp worse…? Just don’t sign up to the people’s channels if you don’t want to 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I’d love to switch to Signal and I do have 1 contact there. Everyone else uses FB or whatsapp and just doesn’t care. What am I supposed to do?

      What am I supposed to do?

      Decide if your privacy is more important than their convenience and your feelings of FOMO.

        Right, but if I need to contact a friend or family. How am I supposed to do it without affecting privacy? If the other person doesn’t use Signal or else.

    I expected more people in EU use Signal after even the EU deciding to use it over any other one. Seems like people don’t care.

    I will never switch to something that only treats phones as “primary device” and adds extra hassle to support PC as a “secondary device”. I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.

    another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.

        I am not looking for anything specific since i am not planning to use it, the issues I pointed are deal breakers as I said.
        Regarding the roadmap,I only expect them to share it. They have talked about their vision and desire to be self sustainable. It would show they have a clear plan even if it involves testing features.
