My initial reaction was "oh no. Signal finally broke down and has begun adding the annoying social features."
After thinking about it, I actually don't mind it.
I am in a big (~15 people) group chat with my family. Often times someone will spam the chat with vacation pics or something they cooked for dinner. I don't particularly dislike that, but it seems like posting those pictures to their story would be a much better way to share. The audience would remain the same and it would still be private. The viewing process would just be much better.
The main problem is, and always has been, getting a bunch of iPhone users in the US to use any messaging app besides iMessage. Let alone having them post to a story within that app.
