Just noticed that since they announced their crypto coin thing, I’ve exchanged less than a dozen messages on Signal. Maybe it’s just me but suddenly it’s a ghost town.

@mhoye it’s pretty much them screaming YOU CAN’T TRUST US ANYMORE so I’m not really surprised. Altho I’ve always been wary of the phone number as identifier business too.

@dfraser @mhoye ditto to both points. I never got around to evaluating whether I could trust Signal enough to trust them with my phone number since the was an account creation gate; I sure as heck won't get around to it now.

"Zero trust" indeed.

@gnomon @dfraser @mhoye
What do you trust more than signal? Always looking for good suggestions :)
