I never saw this anywhere until this comment. The letters "RCS" never appear anywhere in the blog post[0] where they announced they were removing SMS Signal support. Where did you hear this from? This would be a much more reasonable reason than the drivel the espoused in their blog post.

Thanks! Why did Signal not officially post any of that?! And why is it being posted by a seemingly random person? There isn't even a name at the end of the supposed message from Signal.

If this is the case, I wish Signal had provided this information somewhere in an official capacity, rather than some random persons HN post. Like a follow up blog post following the reaction that people had. This is extremely poor communication to what I would believe is a decent portion of their username: technically oriented persons. The reasons they give in their blog post are extremely flimsy.
