My reaction to the article was that they're using a lot of words to explain this change. That suggested to me that maybe they aren't being completely candid.
I've never used Signal, because (a) I don't want to rely on a smartphone, and (b) I don't want to use my phone-number as my ID, because it's traceable. I can't work out from the TFA verbiage whether this change addresses my concerns or not. That in itself is concerning, to me.
- Tmpod 3y agoRegarding (a), apart from the inicial account setup, you can actually use the desktop client fully standalone. Regarding (b), yeah that's still a bummer, though, depending on your country of residence, you can get throwaway SIM cards for free and use that.
