@Tutanota I see a big error to call messengers like Telegram or Signal to be "anonymous" when they require at least an active SIM card to set up an account

Getting an anonymous SIM is impossible in most countries now

@Laberpferd I thought you could just give people a Signal username and hide your phone number from your profile. Isn't this enough anonymity for the average threat model? Also, do we know whether Signal links usernames to phone numbers in their backend?

@gkcan
My red line is earlier, that i dont want to verify with name; address; face photo to get a SIM card that links together all i ever do in my life

Very different threat model

If i would have an anonymous SIM card (or a more than one for seperate parts of work and personal life) i would have not so many issues to share their numbers with selected peer groups

@Laberpferd SimpleX seems to be getting really good and probably fits your threat model well.
