No phone number needed. Can run directly on a non-phone server.
Also more secure and trustworthy because it’s open source.

But Signal is open source..?
Getting a phone number was relatively cheap and easy, so for a one-off implementation, Signal was an easy choice as it’s what many friends and family already use.
The phone number part significantly degrades your privacy and security

I’m not here to fight you. I was replying with a cool thing I wrote to share baby pics to family and friends, not trying to be the most perfect hardcore op sec person on the internet.
People I know use Signal. I have never even heard of two of the three services mentioned higher up the thread.
When I wrote it I was dealing with a newborn, auditing whether Signal passes some No True Scotsman test for open source-ness was really not my priority.
Ugh, this kind of response is so off-putting. You can reply if you like but I’m probably just going to delete the whole damn comment thread because fuck this kind of purity test bullshit.
I wasn’t asking for fucking feedback on my work.
Isn’t just the client open source
