I'm sure promoting the centralized @signalapp will never come back to bite @Mastodon in the ass.

@Bluewall As long as you have a phone number, smartphone with Android or iOS, it isn't blocked in your country etc.

@ondra SIgnal is not anonymous, but private (and it does this through mathematics, not CEO promises, as is often the case)

@ondra All messages are mathematically protected. Privacy is guaranteed.

Signal does not promise anonymity
