I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.
Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?
thousands of threads on this topic since decades ago.
it’s an eternal debate (since signal has no plans to change)
just read the history and join the rest of us waiting for them to change. using signal before that change is completely optional. go ahead and don’t use it. no problem.
opening the discussion again is just tiring.
Is there a url for the history? Or for a good answer about the phone numbers? If the topic keeps recurring and the answers don’t satisfy people, that suggests that there is no good answer, and that there are possibly misaligned interests between Signal and its users.
so tiring that i opened it and read it, then typed a long response.
Fuck haterz, these are valid questions and there no answers.
Signal did its job. I am waiting for simplex to mature.
