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

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

    Computers don’t steal your data for musk regime tho. Signal does. Telegram does not.

      Telegram leaks your data, including to France, which is my country, so they can go fuck themselves.

      Telegram isn’t even E2EE. It’s like recommending Russia’s Discord over Signal…

      Computers don’t steal your data for musk regime tho. Signal does.

      I guess Microsoft isn’t a USA company. And Signal is apparently for-profit. And ICANN isn’t in the USA…

      I love how Signal (doesn’t, according to you) takes months to invent a proxy to load GIFs and link previews through, so as not to leak your IP to the (American) companies.
