There was some groaning but, if there’s no other way, either use Signal or invest in a Pigeon coop and get training.

Any particular reason you are abandoning SMS? Any particular reason for the strict rule?

RCS ain't universal. I only have it with some iPhone users and the rare Pixel.

If it's what's for dinner, I don't care. Musk can know I had some hamburger steak.

If it's the code to your tablet, mom, ask on Signal.

RCS is shit, with SMS at least my phone comes with a messenger and I can download one from F-Droid. With RCS only one proprietary app supports it and it functions weirdly on GrapheneOS. In its current state it's practically a downgrade at this point and considering how bad SMS is that says a lot.
