    it does make sense, actually. as they had that function when the app was first around. why do you think they have you sign up with a phone number in the first place?

    also, it’s not on me to solve every technical hurdle you make up. if you want to learn more about Spam Prevention methods, I can point you to some resources if you’re truly interested.

    I’m sorry that not everyone thinks Signal is a god app worthy of worship. its a message app, and its not the only one. it does stuff some people don’t like. including me.

      Again, spam & abuse prevention. We’ve been over this.

      I’m sorry that not everyone thinks Signal is a god app worthy of worship. its a message app, and its not the only one. it does stuff some people don’t like. including me.

      I’m not saying that Signal is a god app worthy of worship, I’m saying it’s detrimental for them to include SMS functionality, since that’s fundamentally insecure. That’s literally why they removed it. Is that so hard to understand?
