Signal is private, what you should differentiate is being anonymous or not. Using your usual phone number is NOT Anonymous but is PRIVATE, as in the content of your messages being only available to you and the person you’re talking to

The way you get a phone number depends on you too, so you can be very much be Anonymous even if signal requires a phone number.

Well, it seems as we are not merging. Honestly impressive, such a niche community and people still would rather divide it.

Impressive fediverse mentality, I’m not used to this.
