I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message "hi " could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

Obviously Signal is the lesser evil, but don't use Signal if you are planning a revolt is what I'm saying.

or if you're the US' secretary of defense and you're going to bomb Houthis
