Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)
Asudox@lemmy.world 9 months agoAs everyone other said, Signal is NOT supposed to be an anonymous messaging service, but a private one. Anyone knows that the moment a service asks for their personal phone number, they can’t be anonymous. For the average Joe, Signal is the superior choice over WhatsApp, at least.

I think you don’t understand what “privacy” means. Being anonymous is the highest achievable level of privacy. There are levels before that, and Signal is at the bottom of the spectrum (WhatsApp is not even on the spectrum)

Anonymity isn’t privacy, and privacy isn’t anonymity. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Do you define privacy as “message content is hidden, everything else is irrelevant”?

Of course not, but it is a known fact that anonymity isn’t privacy.
