@landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place @wiredfire@mstdn.social @really_idk@mastodon.social @OpenMediaOrg@mastodon.social @mollyim@fosstodon.org I understand the sentiment, I was just trying to solve the practical problem. I have argued with them for years about the number thing, but there didn't used to be any workaround at all. Now there is so while I want them to finish the job, I at least can show people how to set up and still preserve their privacy.

@reflex@retrogaming.social @wiredfire@mstdn.social @really_idk@mastodon.social @OpenMediaOrg@mastodon.social @mollyim@fosstodon.org My goal is not to use Signal. I can't take it seriously when step 1 is phone number harvesting. They've given me no actual reason to believe they're any more private than all the bazillion "private and free" apps in the various mobile stores. I'm sure I could technically trick many of these into using fake phone numbers, but I can just not use them, either.
