    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.
