MODERATORS
It's incredible that everybody was fine with SMS in Signal behaving this way, which is vastly less secure.
I wasn't. Like a WhatsApp integration, I think using SMS defeats the purpose of Signal. My phone can handle SMS just fine, I don't need that feature. But when you take a feature away, you only hear about people who used and liked it to there's a clear bias to think there was a huge backlash.
I haven't seen numbers to support the alleged "mass exodus" that happened when they removed it.
