I looked at my phone and I was happy to see I had received a text message from #GD1 overnight. Then I saw: "Switch to Signal! [some-link]"

No, dear. #Signal is not in #F-Droid and they want my phone number. I won't try to explain the danger of relying on a single central server, because she's only 10, but not only is it not federated, it has no intention of ever being federated.

No thanks!
