I’m curious why Wire wasn’t recommended. I prefer it because you don’t need a phone number to use it.

- godelski 7y agoSignal talked about how this is actually a security flaw. I believe they are working on implementing the feature though. It is about being able to create social graphs. So like if you get a new phone you can keep your social network (also that if you discard a phone an adversary can't pick up your identity trivially). With the current implementation you'd lose your social graph every time you got a new device. I didn't check very hard but I think it is this blog post [0]. They don't have many posts, so I'm sure you can find it if this isn't the one. [0] https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/ https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/
