What makes it better than Signal? I thought Signal was the way to go since it is pure E2E

It is. But the bloody phone number requirement 🤦🏾♂️
Ah, yes, that is the one downside. But linking a burner number is a good workaround.
Im hearing they may introduce usernames at some point, not sure if you are still required to have a phone number though
Indeed, I heard about it too. Let's hope they won't implement another fluffy feature before then
Signal has potential to be great, but looks like they’re going down the shitcoin route 😕 at least its better than WhatsApp
Not only WhatsApp, but all other competitors. Signal is the best mainstream messenger by far. Ask Zuck or SBF 😂
If they self-destruct following bad decisions, the open source code will still serve us. getsession.org has already exploited it, and that's good.
Its encrypted too but is completely serverless, runs p2p so no middle man. You can also transfer files through it with no size limit. just drop it in and its viewable to everyone in the room immediately, its crazy how good it works with just being in alpha. Has lightning integrated now and because it doesn't connect to servers it punches through nat and firewalls atomatically.
