@RandomBit I'm not aware of exactly what issues #Signal has, but I know it's centralized so I'm not a big fan of that

Yes, it's not ideal. Decentralized key distribution seems to be a intractable problem for mass adoption.

@RandomBit That said if #Signal ever supports #RCS I'd strongly consider getting it, since half my siblings are on #RCS

@realcaseyrollins @RandomBit If Signal is ditching SMS, they aren't going to support RCS. Not to mention nobody other than Google (and via Google's direct offer, Apple) have the keys to use it.

Sort of off topic but are you replying from Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@pootedesu Yep!

That is pretty cool. I'm just figuring out how this all works so seeing 2 platforms melding into one comment thread is still like magic to me.
