    Especially when your identity on Signal is STILL only tied to a phone number, instead of a username, and there is nothing less private than actually giving out your real phone number.

    Absolutely baffling.

      I heard they gonna introduce usernames for sharing your acc. but to make one u still need a phone to create an acc. which I understand.

      Giving out a phone number harms anonymity, which is something they never claimed to give you.

      I’d like not having to use my number as much as you, but lets be angry about it for the right reasons, at least
