If you are willing to use Signal, you already don't mind a tiny userbase, so why not use Session (or maybe Matrix) and enjoy privacy, security, AND anonymity?
Signal has always been clear that privacy!=anonymity and regards people who want both as both stupid and unusual. Its always been a weird dance to watch.
Because the ux for signal is superior and I don't care about anonymity when I'm communicating with friends and family.
The right tool for the right job, and signal is the right tool for general communication, but I wouldn't use it for my virtual pals.
Essentially, I see entirely different use cases for decentralized options like matrix, session, xmpp.
