Am I the only person who is totally fine with just texting people? I mean, given this is HN, maybe all of you people use Android and have no idea how amazing iMessage is.
- superuser2 10y agoRegular SMS is among the least secure communication mechanisms available. I trust Facebook a thousand times more than Verizon. iMessage is nice, but many of the people I converse with regularly aren't in the Apple ecosystem.
- pikachu_is_cool 10y agoI mean, you're not wrong there, but personally I'd rather have my private conversations in the hands of Verizon than Facebook. Facebook actually sees the value in the private conversations and tries to monetize it. Verizon, on the other hand, has bigger fish to fry. I'd rather give my conversations to a company that sees storing/processing messages as a liability, rather than an asset.
