  Possibly it was low hanging fruit. Easy to implement, and it gives people a feature pretty much everything else has.

    So low it’s fermenting on the floor with nobody touching it.

  And here I was waiting for simultaneous phone and tablet sync as well as notifications for Signal. Nope, I can only use one device at a time. I noped out and went with Telegram. Priorities.

    Look for Matrix/Element, it’s the Lemmy to Signal/Discord/Teams/Slack’s Reddit. 👍

    Not even that… They don’t even have desktop registration in the official client, which is just outrageous.

  I can’t get enough of my contacts using signal for stories to be useful

  I actually liked having it, even though I don’t use it much. Makes it easier to get other people to switch if this is a feature they were using already. It now pretty much does everything Snapchat does, only better

    yeah, I actually like using stories on Signal. I used to post to them much more back when I was using Snapchat, but it’s still a fun way of sharing some throwaway, unimportant photos with friends.

    and besides, if you don’t want them, Signal lets you disable them and they disappear from the UI completely.

      They killed sms for bullshit reasons but they gave us stories

      Stories, on an app for secure communication. All the sudden all my family that I set up with it who know nothing about encryption stopped using it because they don’t want two texting apps. It’s border on useless for me now because I only know like 2 people who still have it

        encrypted stories on an app for secure communication make more sense than unencrypted SMS.
