I’m personally not a fan of requiring phone numbers or disallowing third party clients. I’m not really sure how I could characterize those concerns as being “dumb” even if they didn’t particularly bother me.

  The "I don't trust Signal" articles were one of the things that inspired me to push for making xxm first over other apps. Since then a few other options have also sprung up (Session, cwtch, simplex to name a few). Also, it wasn't mentioned in the articles, but another issue solved by us and many of these other messengers is use of a private keyboard instead of the vendor/isp ones that can spy on users. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that better privacy and security will not beat convenience and network effects when you are competing with "free", so we are changing our approach.
