As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Multiple-accounts and pseudonyms. It’s like the 101 of interacting on the Internet. With a phone number requirement that’s automatically made impossible.
Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.
What about them?
Why is that a problem?
Why are you posting as artyom@piefed.social and not <real name>@<home address>?
…because this is not a private message? And because my home address is not a piefed server. Such a weird question…
