Signal listens to its users and removes a stupid silly features (SMS) that only works on Android 😅

@prologic hey wait, Signal only hijacks your SMS on Android???
@abucci Correct. No app is allowed to do this on iOS 😅

@prologic I guess y'all have been saying this but it didn't sink into my dense head. Anyway, this is even more angering since they never had to hijack SMS to begin with--they already knew how to make an app that didn't!
@abucci I dunno, I like to think a bit more optimistically and tend to think maybe the developers that originally built the Android version didn't really know what they were doing, found some tutorials on how to build a mobile messaging app and it somehow included some SDK(s) to hijeck the phone's builtin SMS facilities 😅

@prologic err, building a "security focused" app while not knowing what you're doing is not an optimistic assessment! It's the height of hubris, and very dangerous!
@abucci Yeah you're right 😅 Just trying to give the folks that work at Signal Foundation the "benefit of the doubt" 🤣 They are a not-for-profit after-all 🤗

@prologic I like to give developers the benefit of the doubt, but the management can go suck an egg as far as I'm concerned lol
@abucci Managers suck 😅 Good leaders are hard to find 😢
