Lee DunaSignal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp
THE MASTERMINDThreema seems to solve a problem signal has that is it does’nt need a phone number to open account . But i haven’t used any of them so can’t say . (If anyone wanna know i use telgram foss which is a debloated fork of the original client)
RageAgainstTheRichDoesn’t signal now have username support? I thought i saw it released a week or so ago.
It still needs a phone number for registration. You just don't need to share it with people you want to talk with.
That doesn’t solve the issue that you have to give them a phone number to start an acc.
That’s not really a problem. The biggest problem Signal has is people not caring about privacy enough to use another messaging app.
If Signal dropped the phone number requirement they’d get a handful more users. If people started to care about privacy they’d get millions of new users.
