My friends wanted to move off Telegram to Signal. I said sure let’s move off Telegram, but let’s move onto Matrix instead. Now I have to use a Matrix bridge to talk to them and I still had to install Signal lol
I mean Signal is definitely better than Telegram, but if we were going to make a move anyway, I would’ve preferred the one that doesn’t require a phone number, or even the existence of a phone.
Nice! How were you successful?
Sorry. I wish I hadn’t a few years ago. I will be looking to move to a non-Android, non-iOS phone soon so family will need another way to contact me. I can’t take a project serious that demands I use one of the corpo duopoly phones or even have a phone at all, but Signal, LINE, & a couple of other chat apps have this weird requirement.
Why don’t you contribute to Signal and be the change you want to see? You can make a pull request in GitHub.
The creator explictly made this choice.
Also screw telling folks they must use Microsoft products to contribute to a project.
What flavour?
