  The fact that signal uses phone numbers as it’s primary identifier seriously undermines their privacy claims. AIM with both parties using OMEMO was more private and secure

  If you don’t want to use Signal, use a forked version of it - Session (doesn’t require a phone number, only has a code number as id) or SimpleX Chat (not even a code number, completely private)
