If people's actions tell you what they are actually concerned about, believe them.

I'm considering deleting my SMS app and letting my actions speak lol I'd talk to almost no one in message format and maybe that's okay.
The main thing holding me back is the garbage companies still forcing SMS as a 2FA on a few of my accounts. I suppose I could just silence the app until I need it.
This seems nuclear though considering how often people text me.
I've considered setting up a canned responder. "This number does not accept messages on unencrypted channels. Please consider using Signal."
