   A hardy "fuck you" to signal.org , I begged and pleaded with older relatives and friends to get on it as an SMS replacement. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

     @LadyMont @Flick They no longer support SMS, just another fucking "chat app"

     @Flick @LadyMont @thatguyoverthere Looks like from the recent Pulse SMS is following the enshitificiation model as well, putting basic features behind a subscription after establishing itself.

     @Flick @polarisera I too would like to know.
     
     The only thing I can think of is that no one wanted to transfer to that app, like in my personal life. Fuck it.

     @Flick @LadyMont @polarisera I actually don't use SMS if I can avoid it. I haven't used signal or pulse SMS. I lean on matrix ("a chat app") for most of my communications. With older people in my family I use email and phone primarily. Vision impairments make reading any text on the phone a chore or for some impossible.
