Signal the anonymous messenger asking for your phone # to register… I didn’t check if they changed that but it was such a good joke

I will never switch to something that only treats phones as "primary device" and adds extra hassle to support PC as a "secondary device". I also find very concerning the lack of understanding of the value of anonimity even when communications are private, they even mock people that want privacy and anonimity.
another non-deal breaking but still telling issue is the lack of a clear roadmap for signal.

Who ever said signal is anonymous? Secure, private, encrypted - yes. But definitely not anonymous.

Making an anonymous messenger is surely borderline impossible, somewhere along the chain someone will know who you are.

I also find it crazy that people don’t understand the value of privacy. Telling people that Nissan wants to sell information about your sexual activity seemed to wake some of my social circle up. But only in the context of Nissan, which almost certainly doesn’t have that data. Meta almost certainly does.
What sort of roadmap are you looking for in Signal? It does everything I need it to do, personally.

I am not looking for anything specific since i am not planning to use it, the issues I pointed are deal breakers as I said.
Regarding the roadmap,I only expect them to share it. They have talked about their vision and desire to be self sustainable. It would show they have a clear plan even if it involves testing features.
