  • Same. I just didn’t have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don’t use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.

    At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.

    Isn’t it pretty much expected? There was a massive boost during the API controversy then it dropped off as the number of active users stabilised. I don’t think Lemmy will immediately replace Reddit like people want it to, just a slow gradual migration of communities. After all the migration from Digg to Reddit took years. I’ve got no doubt that Reddit will make more dumb decisions that will push more over to Lemmy.

    Honestly I just want communities like /r/framework to move over and some UK subs like /r/frugaluk and /r/casualuk then I’m happy.
