Signal deleted my account, maybe because I don&#39;t have a phone, and only login with signal-cli every once in a while to rotate keys. Fuck this shit, forcing people via a social graph to own a smartphone is super fucked up. #Digitalzwang

@compl4xx@chaos.social signal deleted one of my accounts because my phone broke on vacation and antispam wouldn't let me re-register with a number outside of the local region :/

@compl4xx@chaos.social maybe bridges like beeper.com can help keep it active? but maybe needs a phone to link first…
