I recognize you’re probably not the original commenter, but this is the same flavor of strawman.
App is app. Other app is other app.
In one app, it was possible to send both SMS and encrypted messages. In the other, just SMS.

I don’t feel that it’s me being intentionally dense here because, again, you’ve concocted an irrelevant scenario to argue your tenuous position - which I already agreed is possible, but irrelevant in this context.

Appreciate the heads up on session.
Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you’ve strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.
Most people who want it back don’t need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.
Here’s the simple facts:
SMS is not secure, or private.
Signal is for secure, private comms.
As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.
It was for the music in a linked game download, and owner decided to close up shop.
And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.
Appreciate the correction! I haven’t dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I’m out of the loop.
I vaguely recall that they received a takedown notice.
Kobo consistently makes better products overall, but the ability to avoid Amazon (and the nonsense that comes from their proprietary format) is priceless.
Eh… There’s several bots that are ripping content from that site with seemingly good intent in the interest of “populating the fediverse.”
It’s more spammy than anything else, and I don’t really want this place to become a bot infested hellscape like the place I left.
Just saying that you can still use that other site without them seeing a dime
Google your problem. Get the url.

There are also scripts and Firefox extensions you can install that automatically do it for you.
2013 was a terrible year for media consumption.
Google killed the only thing about Google that I had any sort of true feelings for. It was exactly what I wanted in a feed reader. It almost killed my affinity to read the news during my commutes.
It was the same year that The Onion stopped printing paper copies, too.
It was also the year The Hangover 3 was released at the request of nobody, but I digress.
RIP Google Reader.
Y’all trust your Roombas?
I got another Roomba just to keep the other one honest (and rescue missions).
I like to commit crimes while screaming that I’m committing crimes.
It makes the crimes more obvious so that everyone knows I’m committing crimes.
reconsider your approach.
Start with the fucking name. Yikes.
I could barely get this comment to load. The image you linked is beyond a no go. Anyone kind enough to fill me in?
Indeed.
It’s a very basic trade that it seems few understand. You MUST trade a bit of convenience to increase your security, or mistakes will happen.
