| Hey, that sounds like Signal! https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4590 >We're not going to remove the reminders. >If you don't want to provide that access, you still don't need to – you can simply tap remind me later once a month (See also: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4373, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/5809, ...) |

| I get their point that you can't provide a "No" in the reminder. But there should be an option (maybe even hidden under "advanced settings - here be dragons!") for this. |

| Signal is an interesting case study in UX failure. I and a bunch of other tech forward people were on it in its heyday but after they removed SMS support and implemented shitty UX like that nag dialog: Neither I nor a single person I know uses it any more. Everyone is on Whatsapp or iMessage. It may be cryptographically superior, but does that matter at the end of the day if nobody uses it? |

What Mark Zuckerberg did to Whatsapp should be required reading for anyone using the internet, and then decide if you still want to use Facebook (never mind, they build a shadow profile for you anyway) "It's time. Delete Facebook" isn't subtle https://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2018/09/26/exclusive... | | |
| ▲ | mystraline an hour ago | parent [-] | | That needs spelled out. Delete: Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Meta, Threads, Manus. Most people think of Facebook and Messenger when they see "Delete Facebook". Thats also why the rest dont have Meta or FB in their name. |

Guess showing them https://i.redd.it/0imry50rxy961.png still won't change anything.. | |

I've made a few attempts to convert people, but no-go. People stay on Telegram and WhatsApp because they have better UX and features. Signal refuses to see the value in good attractive UX. |
