@emilyyoung@tech.lgbt I think the bigger issue is not that we don't have a replacement, simply that no one can get everyone to agree to adopt a single replacement for it. Signal or even RCS is a secure replacement to SMS, but as long as they rely on centralized servers controlled by single companies, they won't be a SMS replacement. I imagine the best way to force a new standard would be something like EU mandating it, forcing companies to all cooperate in adopting it, then it may spread from there.
