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?

    Is it possible to use a voip based SMS for registration?

    Those are a little easier to get anonymously then physical sim cards.

      Too many steps.

      Despite this, escaping WhatsApp and Discord, anti-libre software, is more important.
