Mine was solved decades ago when I was allowed to just make an account with an e-mail and create any number of pseudonymous accounts. This allows me things like to have a personal and work account, and not leak information between different identities. And, most importantly, it lets me talk to someone without having first to reveal my real-world identity. With Signal, I have to already know that person and trust them with my phone number. It's not really state surveillance, it's the fact that what used to be private information I only shared with close friends now has to be public and told to every random person online I want to chat with. Just.. just let me make an account tied to an e-mail or to my google profile or anything but my phone number. The entire thing creeps me out.
