How did that happen? Have you all used Signal from the beginning or did you switch over from something else
Apparently there was/is a messaging service somewhere hidden in the core Fi service. I just copy pasted this list from someone else tho. No idea how accurate this is.
Believe it or not, I have not actually used all these services on the list lol
I don't get it. Are Google employees completely ignoring all the negative press their messaging apps get?

Sucks for people using Twitter for getting real-time updates in emergency situations. Otherwise I don't think it really matters, if all of Twitter just vanishes.
Most artists primarily use Twitter as a promo tool and have all their art on other platforms as well and in better quality even.
All original Twitter content are just low-effort tweets. The only stand-out feature of Twitter is the fact, that it is so popular among companies and famous people.
OpenStreetMap. Google Maps is probably the best product in the field tho, even among paid solutions.
Redesigns are always perceived poorly. Every decrease in performance, every lost feature, every relocated setting is heavily felt by all the power-users. For new users tho, K9 probably became more viable/attractive.
Eventually people will get used to the design, performance issues will get fixed, new features will be (re)added and the rating will improve again.
Same thing happened with the Firefox Android Browser.
For me personally, K9's design seemed very unintuitive and complicated, when I first tried it almost 10 years ago. FairEmail for me is a great compromise between usability and feature-richness.
K9 is probably completely different from a decade ago, but I guess I will wait until K9 has merged completely with Thunderbird, before I look into it again.
