I hoped Molly leaved the sms feature, that is the only thing I can use as a bait for let my friends switch to signal.
No, because SMS code was removed from Signal, I believe Molly would have to fork the code if they try to put it back in.
Not to mention, SMS was removed because it’s inherently insecure at every level. Keeping it would mean there’d be an insecure side channel into the protocol. While it’s a useful onboarding mechanism, it can also be abused — and was. So eventually it got removed to prefer privacy and security over convenience.
That’s a valid reason, prioritizing security over convenience. I forgot about the fact that texting is plain text communication.
