Ask HN: Signal dropping support for my (very much working) iPhone 6: what now?
I recall already having to use an iphone 6 instead of an iphone 4 to be able to use signal at all a few years ago. Now I got a banner telling me that support will be dropped in mid August.
I feel this is a very stupid move: it is probably true security is harder to guarantee with old devices, but whatsapp/telegram support them without problem, and the "durability" aspect should count for something in their decision-process…
What do people around here recommend doing? Taking the networking effect into account, pushing people to something like matrix will probably be quite hard…
