(amazing friendliness towards the forum users with your error 500 when posting links, dear forum admins, hope that saves you from dealing with tonnes of spam posted by folks like me /s)

It’s a bummer, esp. given the fact their ‘three big reasons why’ boil down to ‘Signal users are generally dumb and we need to cater to their needs by dumbing the app down, too’.

For /e/, it looks like Gael’s decision to switch to QKSMS years ago was good, if not prophetic.

Now, are there any advantages of using e’s Message over the original QKSMS?
