I'm actually of the opposite opinion.

Stories are ephemeral and are lower effort and lower commitment, and it goes to all your friends. They usually come in a quasi-chronological order. It'd be inappropriate to post "makin soup", "empty bowl (done with the soup)", etc and tag every person i know

i wish signal had stories earlier, in time for each of the big adoption upticks.

also yah loosing the sms support sucks. in the forums they also cited that it was increasingly time consuming to support. but i really liked having sms in the same app.

Currently only a few people I know use signal so if I had to maintain two appsz one for signal friends and one for just SMS friends it's going to be a big bummer and I probably will just end up not using signal. As is, I could get people to switch to signal as their main app and I could signal with them, but otherwise it was a normal texting app for them. But now his am I gonna get my mom to install signal and a regular SMS app? Not gonna happen, which means unencrypted messages.
