Ask HN: If Signal goes through with removing SMS, what app should replace it?

It seems like an ill-advised move to remove SMS support from Signal (as shown by the multitude of comments on the discussion of the post elsewhere on HN). One of the reasons I like Signal is it isn't Google Messages, as in it's one extra step for Google to peek at the messages I'm sending (using Android itself notwithstanding). I felt I could trust Signal not to be actively undermining my privacy and monetizing/cataloging my communications. What trusted app would you recommend for SMS communication if Signal does in fact remove that feature?
