I have been using Signal for years and have not noticed it getting worse. Instead, I’ve noticed that it’s much more reliable about timely notifications than it was a few years ago.
I never much cared about it being able to do SMS or not. I got used to the idea that it was necessary to have multiple apps to talk to everyone in the early 2000s PC instant messenger era; there were some multi-service apps, but that was never a stable situation.
Pidgin and Trillian were both fantastic stable solutions back then, and it’s be real fucking nice to have that today, but everyone’s got their hand out to steal your data and offer you free services for the trouble and they don’t want to share.

God I loved trillian. Fuck knows what it was doing with my data though.
