I've been using Signal for a long time now, it was great until they ended SMS text support, then they started trying to turn Signal into a social media thing, I just want end to end encryption without having to worry about somebody like Zuckerberg having access to my texts.
I agree, and their reasoning to do it was insulting. The crypto bullshit and the stories bullshit along with the SMS decision was enough for me. I've uninstalled it, and haven't missed it. It's not a good app if you care about privacy anyway, there are better apps that don't require a phone number to use them.
