Signal just released the usernames for both desktop and mobile now, with phone number hiding. This makes it easy to join groups without leaking info to the group.

It's too little, too late, by this point, any app that ties itself to your phone number unnecessarily has already been abandoned for more private, secure, and anonymous options like Session and Element/Matrix that are decentralized. The age of centralized systems that tyrannical governments can co-opt is coming to an end.

@prancing389 @SummerBreeze Abandoned in favor of more private/resilient options by privacy fetishists like many of us in the #monero community. True.

But ... !

a) You'd be amazed how amazingly poor OpSec people have generally, and criminals in particular. A shocking number of *public* social media posts including the accused and the corpus delicti come up in court documents.

b) Signal is easier for my Mom than Matrix.

Making more privacy the default in more apps is an unmitigated Good Thing.

Have your Mom try Session Messenger, it does not ask for an email or a phone number, and is a little less complicated than Matrix.

typical smear campaign trying to link Monero to drug users und drop outs. Last time I called you out you just created a new sock puppet. I wonder what happens next.
