Dope
Yes! About damn time
Nice 🙌
Still in beta. Rolling out over the next few weeks
Still cant sign up without phone # though. Why
"People who have your number saved in their phone’s contacts will still see your phone number since they already know it." Lol.

I don't get what actually changed.... (It was like that last year) You give it a spoffed / call forwarding / temp number and make a fake name It feels the same "If you don’t want to hand out your phone number to chat with someone on Signal, you can now create a unique username that you can use instead (you will still need a phone number to sign up for Signal). Note that a username is not the profile name that’s displayed in chats, it’s not a permanent handle, and not visible to the people you are chatting with in Signal. A username is simply a way to initiate contact on Signal without sharing your phone number." nostr:nevent1qqstwq4tyn4h0c0faharst4qs7t7sjl5trqcj3vlnphvep55069dclcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpq35r7yzkm4te5460u00jz4djcw0qa90zku7739qn7wj4ralhe4zqvzqqqqqqylzp8x5
I has a year , just talk 2 friends , when bip , I know of is important. I send people I have in my life to my brother and mother 2 But they don't use it so I don't respond to others because I'm studying 16 hours a day. No signal I have 2 friends, the last ones left after this mess they made since 2020. I answer her right away, because I know is important ! Tks @jack
Estou usando o 0xchat aqui no NOSTR. https://www.0xchat.com Alguém aí usa?
agreed
This is default on telegram since very long
I have to go back to signal and check it out, I guess
is this kind of still totally retarded or something? except for classic phone i never give away my number. i also steer away from services that need email. username and pass/secret. thats all that should be. leading you to services such as matrix. providers or platforms shouldnt even go down the road of asking for users metadata at all. sigh
