hahaha, that was literally the only reason why at least consider signal over other IM, now they lost it they have literally zero benefit over Element or Telegram since you will need dedicated SMS app in phone anyway personally I jumped the boat when they made app unusable with PIN code nag screen, which they backpedaled from after uproar but it was already too late for me and my extended family where I pushed Signal, there were message delivery issues, horrible downtime in Europe because US admin was taking sleep, but the unavoidable nag screen was the last drop, the later news about shady crypto and other stuff just convinced me this app ain't worth a dime, which this SMS announcement just confirmed if you wanna alternative IM app use Element (Matrix), unlike Signal it doesn't require phone number, it use decentralized network and you can choose from whatever app you like, never understood why IT skilled people pushed Signal after Element became already quite user friendly
