Use Signal
- I already do but it's nice to have an easy, default way to talk to everyone
  
  Except for those on degoogled android.
- I should hope signal adds sms support back with this.
  
  Logically that makes sense, as they removed SMS support due to some people not realising that using SMS was not secure/encrypted.
MLS is cool because ANY messenger can implement it and talk to another messenger. If implemented, Signal users could have an EE2E conversation with WhatsApp, or Matrix users could have EE2E conversations with RCS users.
The original creator of MLS has a messenger called Wire.
- It would be so awesome to have on app to message any platform without any fanfare.
- That would overall be bad for privacy since you will have major weak links. Better to just move everybody to Signal.
  
  What weak link?
I'm not gonna believe any of it. It's probably not just backdored, it probably has its central server at the FBI. Google/Apple/Microsoft have zero respect for your privacy.
- Username does not check out
  
  Yeah, gimmy Linux instead!
This is an update to the standard, right? No actual software support, so we still don’t have it. Is that correct?
Really wish they'd push the update to all Android OS's sooner than later
