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.


I seriously would not mind RCS if Google didn’t monopolize it.
I will be forever on MMS because I’ll never use Google’s crappy message app.
No one is sending anything substantial over SMS for me anyway, so it’s not an issue where I need an e2ee channel with someone who doesn’t have signal
