Comment on Twitch has stories now, because all social media has to be the same
otter@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI 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.

Except that the whole selling point was you could replace your SMS app so you got secure communication without having yet another app. I dropped it when they dropped SMS.
