New #Signal and #Molly (hardened Signal fork) update keeps phone number private, lets you to set up a username.

Plenty of cool usernames still available. I got one I like 😎

Note: Usernames are not public.

I think they will break the record of people joining beta just to secure a username.

However I'm not sure how this number works. If I reserve username.01 will someone else be able to het username.02? Or the username is only mine and the number is only needed to fight spam as mentionned?

yes, if you reserve username.01, someone else can register username.02, or username.911 etc. you can change your username unlimited times, but when you change it, it will immediately be available for someone else to take. make sense?
