I use signal for IRL friends, and family only since they'd probably have my phone number anyways.

For online strangers I used simpleX but now I don't know if anyone else is going to use it now 🙃.

Signal rolled out a feature to connect with others via a username last year which is a step in the right direction. Better for connecting with those you don't want to share your number with.

For sure. You still need the number to sign up though

You also need the number to change devices (export / import)

That or enable location services

Signal is not Freedom Tech

Right
