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?

    Do not trust signal. Mosk advertised it on twitter.

    Edit: I only got 11 downvotes yet, so i have to add:

    Signal is not allowed in Russia, guess why. Telegram is. yes yes try harder. THINK mf

    WhatsApp is obviously not recommended.

    I’m not saying don’t use. I’m saying do not trust.
