As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…

Cheers

    Multiple-accounts and pseudonyms. It’s like the 101 of interacting on the Internet. With a phone number requirement that’s automatically made impossible.

    Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.

      What about them?

      Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.

      Why is that a problem?

        Why are you posting as artyom@piefed.social and not <real name>@<home address>?

          …because this is not a private message? And because my home address is not a piefed server. Such a weird question…
