I guess I just don't value "contact discovery" as a feature?
I just don't see it as a casual thing the way the target users of these apps apparently do.
I want to explicitly control, per any form of communication, each person who is to be made to know that I operate that form of communication and whether or not that form of communication with me is open to them.
I do not want to open up a new app and have a large populated list of past acquaintances appear, I absolutely do not want to appear in such a list, I would rather not use a given app than risk having someone show up messaging me uninvited.
- TheAdamAndChe 7y agoThat's great! Signal may not be for you then, which is okay.
- cortesoft 7y agoor....make this an opt in feature?
- UncleMeat 7y agoIn order to do this, the signal server must maintain a list of who is allowed to talk to who, otherwise the list of people available on signal can be obtained through enumeration. This is a privacy trade off. Some services chose to keep this list. Signal chose to use phone numbers.
