I got banned before I even posted anything. I had the account, then the third time I logged in it locked me out because of unspecified suspicious behavior. It was baffling.
Later I tried again with a different account and they wanted a phone number. It was a huge turnoff.
People give Signal heat about wanting a number but they won't even bat an eye at the same behavior from Twitter.
Frustrating to say the least.

- gruez 6y agoSource for this? The only thing I could find is this[1], which still requires a phone number sign up. I also checked the signal blog and couldn't find anything either.
