I want to use Signal but can’t convince everyone to get on it
The US DoD uses it
And they hand out invitations to group chats
Is that a good or bad? Could go both ways 🤭
Matrix/element doesn't make you give out a phone #
That's not why most people aren't on Signal.
Neither do signal anymore i think
Them dropping sms took away a big carrot for adoption though.
They absolutely do, but you can hide that behind a username after you've registered now. But you still have to come up with a number to register a new account.
Ah perfect thabks for the clarity, yes it was the username introduction that confused me - didnt realise it was both.
Nope, they still require a number.
From their site:
There are options to spoof a number in the States, and probably some areas of th EU, but many other places are SOL.
Still miss that feature everytime I get an SMS or have to send an sms if data isn't working.
