this is effectively going to remove signal as my messaging app of choice. i understand that messages that are not signal messages are not secure, but it is not going to be possible to convince anybody i know to download a special app if they want to talk to me. they will just send SMS, and I will have to respond via SMS, and it wont involve the signal app. i hope they reconsider this decision; i have been using the product since textsecure and I would hate to stop doing so because they no longer support out-of-network communication.
