(UK) I got rid of signal when they dropped SMS support.
Using an alternative sms app that sometimes upgrades messages to signal was nearly zero friction.
Keeping an alternative messaging app for one contact is borderline-charity.
I'd do it to help with network effects if I wanted to support the company, but the attempt at crypto integration already cost them my good will.
- fauigerzigerk 3y agoThe crypto integration put me off as well. Not because I'm opposed to crypto currencies in principle, but integrating them into a privacy focused chat app is plain idiotic. Crypto disposals are taxable in the UK and I believe in most other countries as well. So tax authorities have a legitimate reason to look into what's going on there. There is no right to privacy when it comes to buying and selling securities.
