#Signal is not decentralized, nor do they want to be.

They don't allow using any other client to connect to the server except the one they wrote.

They block the completely open source edition of their app (Signal-FOSS) from being listed in F-Droid.

But everyone will cheer and forget all of this when they allow usernames, even if they are still collecting phone numbers and tying them to the usernames behind the scenes

Usernames will be good, but not sufficient for me to recommend Signal again.

#Matrix still wins
