Trust me, I push Signal hard and even donate to it monthly. As I’m sure many of you know, there are always a few contacts who unfortunately refuse to use it.

In this case: do you prefer to use insecure SMS in something like QUIK SMS or Fossify Messages, or do you prefer to bite the Google bullet to get end-to-end encrypted messages (even if the metadata isn’t encrypted)?

I can see good arguments for both sides, so I am curious what Lemmy’s take is.

    RCS is trash.

    For you downvoters, RCS violates the most fundamental rules of networking, which were established in the mid-80’s: separate user ID, device ID, network physical ID and network Logical ID - which is why we have TCP/IP addresses which aren’t tied to physical device ID.

    RCS is backwards, by decades.

    Fuck RCS - I will never use it.
