Given the bizarre backlash here from people that think sms comms are ok I reckon I’ll start a monthly contribution.

  Oh no, the "did you remember to lock the door to the auditorium" messages I send to my boss may be unencrypted. The humanity. What do you purists use to talk to all the random people around you? Do you reply "I'm sorry, it's too insecure for me to answer that, you'll have to install Signal first" messages when more distant colleagues ask you if you're at your desk right now? Do you teach your grandmother to use WhatsApp so her birthday greetings won't be intercepted by the NSA? (Admittedly, the email situation at work being utter trash may be coloring my opinion here.)

    Whatever they prefer. Whatsapp, imessage, or regular sms (when it makes sense). Or slack honestly. I have friends and family all over the world I only push for Signal where necessary and I want it to be good for that. This one app nonsense is asinine. You’ll never get global adoption of one thing.
