Yeah lets use the phone number of a middle man to sign up…sure u wont forget to relock the number every week so they dont get the power for account take over since they manage your number.

“Account recovery”, yeah but by whom?

“Find contacts”, dont you know who u wana talk with?

“be found by other people” ???

theatrics, they are already in

nitpicking

i rather talk to my grand parents over ham radio than giving them a smartphone

Pragmatism got us here. Maybe its time for people to start giving fucks, or like just dont communicate with me.

thats just theatrics at this point. they are already in

Replacing one phone number based system with another may not be a wise choise.

Fuck signal. No “privacy” focused messenger should need a phone number to register…at that point u basically handing the agencys meta data on a platter
