Interesting 👀👀👀


Dope


Yes! About damn time


Have you given up on nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 ?


About bloody time..


Nice 🙌


nice to see some signal on my feed


:thumbs-up:


Great https://image.nostr.build/7a5e9aaf2c297731b9a45e4b23d6036ca3c7a9a87aadec550af8380559a42dcf.jpg


cool.  Now I wish they'd do away with having the same Profile Name for everyone. I've no idea why they insisted on having a Profile Name, but its poor for privacy.


Still in beta. Rolling out over the next few weeks


Geç bile kalındı ama çok güzel oldu.


too late. SimpleX won in that regard.


Excellent!

Brilliant.


Still cant sign up without phone # though. Why


Bold


"People who have your number saved in their phone’s contacts will still see your phone number since they already know it."

Lol.


Finally.

It is my favorite messaging app, although not the one I use the most.


I’ve never used signal. How does you identity a contact? By username?


Mi app de msj favorita, pero no la que mas uso. #hispano

I’m not giving up nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828


yawn you still need a phone number to sign up lol


Currently by phone number, looks like that will change with the upcoming update


Thoughts on Telegram?


You may keep your phone number private with Signal usernames

nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 eliminating phone numbers was the prompt for signal to remove phone numbers.

Lmao what? You never had to have a phone number with simplex.


😀 won’t automatically sanitize your contact list.


finally. i wish signal was more popular in iran over telegram


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."

Thinks for sharing this stuff.... Helps to have all brains on deck going into the void were all about to experience.

Any thoughts on a 1602 for bitcoin or how you feel about that?


elephant in the room: they're still tying your messages to your phone number


Too little, too late. Plus, they STILL tie you to your phone number. Horrible, might as well use WhatsApp...


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 !

This is default on telegram since very long


Onward 🫡


I have to go back to signal and check it out, I guess


Telegram blocks registration if you are using Tor


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


Great update


message me, let’s test it out. jk
