Okay, but who’s is doing guerrilla advertising for a centralized service that requires a SIM card & an Android/iOS primary device or no account for thee. …At least in the past I convinced grandma this is the new SMS app you can use as I knew she would treat it as such, but now I wish I hadn’t since even that useful feature was lost. I want to drop Android entirely, but I need access to my contacts locked in the Signal system--which centralized system lock-in is one of the things we privacy-concerned folks want to avoid.
What should people use? Many of the apps have gottas or are complex to use. Signal has the benefit of being easy. It can even be Foss if you use Molly
