Fr. Fuck signal for removing SMS support
I assume that is exactly for one of the reasons they mentioned in the article: increasing costs for sms
Yeah I think you are right. I too was really mad at Signal for ditching sms, and THEN having the audacity to ask for donations! This article shines a light on the reasons, wow.
Still, I would only donate if they kept sms in there. Not without sms because now it's just one more isolated platform and no longer a one-stop solution at it used to be.
A bit of transparency at the beginning would've helped...
