FYI for #Signal users:

Today my wife could not send messages because Signal has implemented captchas, and the captcha failed. Nothing would send without passing the captcha. The message was being sent to another Signal user who she's messaged before and is in her contacts. It was urgent, and she had to send via SMS to get the message through.

The "feature" and "safety" creep has turned Signal into something that doesn't do its only job. They would sacrifice function for the sake of treating us like spammers. You'd also think the years of metadata they have would be enough to get us on the "not spam" list.

We were already using other apps as our primary messengers, but this is really the final nail in the coffin.

I dumped #Signal after they pushed scam coin "mobilecoin".

Wow this is good info to know.

I will never use it now. Their Jewish CEO with a past of political censorship made me not want to try it

I think that's when we started with Session and Threema. Now we host SimpleX and use that a lot. Threema gets a little hate, but it's been the most reliable.
