While I do agree that Signal should implement a way to register without a phone number, saying “they are garbage” is not helpful to the conversation.
That kind of statement is also inaccurate, in my opinion. It highly depends onyour threat model, which is something that is often overlooked in these kind of threads. Not everyone has the same needs or is able to make the same sacrifices for privacy, and I’d say Signal is a very good option for the vast majority of people getting into a more privacy-oriented tech “lifestyle” (not the best word, but can’t think of a better one rn).
