Oh, I agree and would love to do the same. However, moving any of my family who currently uses Android over to any other platform is impossible. I can’t tell my wife I won’t text her anymore unless she uses it. That won’t go over well hahah
Where possible, I use encrypted communication, but if doing so would result in me cutting off a friend or family member, I won’t do so.
However, I would love to be able to text Android users without crappy quality and the other limitations of SMS/MMS.
I don’t believe it’s frowned upon. I have one here on infosec.pub and another on fedia.io. I primarily use infosec.pub though
