After Signal's lie about dropping SMS support because of "engineering costs", I really can't believe anything else they say.

Plus the app experience sucks, it's no better than SMS.

Are you talking about the signal from five years ago or something?

Wasn't another explanation people mistakenly sending SMS and getting fucked when they meant to send a Signal message?

it’s no better than SMS

That's not true, but even so, the whole point is to be an alternative to SMS. It provides that experience, so I'm happy.
