The #Signal bashing is really something else. First one of the main criticisms was “You can’t have an account without a phone number.” Well, now you can (or will soon be able to), but are people happy? No! Now the song goes like “I want an Account without a phone number BUT NOT LIKE THIS!” 🙄 Yeah well then go use another messenger and try to get people to join. Good luck. In the meantime, #SignalApp is still the most accessible and privacy-focused alternative to #WhatsApp out there.

At this stage of the game, it seems incredibly stupid for #Signal to require people to set up a payment method with #Google to permit people to sign up for Signal without using a phone number. Better not to even offer that option than to force that behavior given that Google has gone full MAGA and really can't be trusted anymore.

it seems incredibly stupid for #Signal to require people to set up a payment method with G

It seems very profitable, or at least it might ;)

And still there is no standalone desktop for non-nerds, so any desktop message anyway will end at the G or A controlled device.

without using a phone number Since inception Signal allowed any phone number to be used once. Not necessarily your number.

#Homeassistant i jego powiadomienia: via #matrix czy #signal? Miałem Signal ale cały czas jest problem z utrzymaniem konta i numeru telefonu (koszty), natomiast matrix cały czas mam wrażenie (bardzo subiektywne!) że jest takim nie do końca zaufanym. Oczywiście mówię o zewnętrznym serwerze, nie własnym. Jak Wy macie to rozwiązane?
