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
