At Signal, our goal is to build a reliable, secure, and private communication experience that is broadly accessible and simple to use. From the beginning, we’ve designed Signal so that your information is in your hands rather than ours.
This makes me more suspicious of signal than I already was. If they’re really trying to get rid of phone numbers as identifiers, then why are they announcing pins, which are another private identifier and not publicly addressable? The purpose of them is solely for backup, and has nothing to do with public addressing.
They could solve this whole thing by adding a username and password, its not difficult, 99% of systems use it for logins.
I’m sticking with matrix anyway, its already far beyond anything signal does.
