I want to love the idea of a universal messaging app, but being on a waiting list with tens of thousands of other people for months has killed my excitement for it.

    I waited for ~2 years to get onboard and just having the ability to use iMessage on my Pixel 6 has made it worthwile. Plus the tight integration with other services and being able to use it to sync SMS between devices is like Apple level. It’s probably not the best service for certain aspects (e.g. privacy, they say it’s E2E but who knows what their stack is), but the secret sauce that is the app just ties it all together so well. Plus, they have support built right into that app via a private Matrix Room and a REAL PERSON will respond to almost any query within a couple minutes. I accidentally sent a DM request to the CEO and he replied in like 3 minutes. If you want to skip the line I can give you my invite code so you can try it out.

      Thank you kindly for the offer. After finding out about the. Invite system here, I was able to Google a code right away, so I’m in. Thanks!

      Hey though, BTW, from the mobile app, do you know how to initiate a chat message to a signal group? I can only seem to do it by replying to an existing group post.

        Hmmm, I’m not a regular Signal user so I’m not sure. You can always ask in the Beeper Help channel though, it should be on your account by default!
