    Yeah, but I got absolutely roasted in YouTube comments for pointing out some potential shortcomings in the architecture. I’m not about to claim a high level of authority on the topic, though I’m an old man who has been in the game for a while, but the people that were totally confident really just seemed very eager to accept the passing of their credentials in a very sketchy way to get a slightly different messaging experience.

    Just use signal folks.

          Jokes on you, took too many ;)

          Edit: I want you to look thru this thread and reaffirm your view. Can I count on you to be intellectually honest beyond this glib facade?

        If everyone you text with are on iPhone anyway, there’s no logical reason to switch iMessage off and use SMS.

        Never personally had any issues with iMessage (not sure which parts you think “suck” and are “unstable”).

        80% of my contacts use iMessage, the rest use Signal.

        I mean I’m a firm FOSS guy, I love Lineage and Signal and all of it, but you’re factually just wrong my guy

          How many 0days are associated with Signal? Which one is “rooted” in the system and can only be “toggled” not removed? Sorry my guy but you’re on the wrong side of basic history on this.

          I would advise you peruse Lockdown in mitigation but maybe Appl’s convinced you you’re not important enough for that to matter or be worthy enough to activate

          Edit: please answer—Signal vs iMessage: how many critical 0days, how many people killed over it? Please, educate me, for real, I hate thinking I’m right unchallenged and without cause to do so.
