    That’s the thing, I don’t really text about that stuff because texting is inherently insecure. Hell I’d sooner email about it if I can get someone set up with pgp than text, and email is insecure too.

    But until someone can convince my mom, dad, aunt, job, etc to use Matrix, I’ll always have to use SMS in some capacity. I hope someone can, I’ve tried to no avail. I was close with a few using Signal but with the removal of sms support they stopped, and the iPhone ones barely used it a week before switching back because “they don’t want to have to use two apps” even before that because they still had to use imessage to talk to most of their contacts.

    So yeah, I’m left with “don’t text about sensitive subjects.”
