↳ In-reply-to » I haven't used Signal long but I must admit I'm a convert. Also handy it can act as the default SMS app on my phone. SMS will be unencrypted of course, and Signal reminds you of as much, but it means i can just use Signal for either case

Competition is good, @thecanine. SMS/MMS is still very compatible for both (Google and Apple), and it will eventually get better when RCS becomes mainstream. I don’t sweat over encryption (though the encryption and privacy provided by Apple works well for me) and what nots, I leave that to you, seemingly stressed with backdoors.

I am sure you have carefully analysed all of the Signal code (client and server), and keep a close tab on their servers, as to rest assured nothing “backdoory” is happening, right? 😉😂
