@mollyim@fosstodon.org this is on the way to make signal actually viable. if people could use it without a phone number and could choose which server to connect to
the next step would then be open federation, to liberate signal

@lumi@snug.moe @mollyim@fosstodon.org federation can be a hard problem as it implies group behaviors which are generally the source of matrix vulns. i would be curious what you mean by "liberate". i developed a proof of concept that uses signal like gpg to encrypt individual messages several years ago https://codeberg.org/cosmicexplorer/grouplink and could be assed to rebase it again but i think it would be more appropriate to reimplement double ratchet and x3dh from scratch at this point
