  Yep. I keep an old phone for the bot to be a linked device.

    God that sucks.

    Why not use SimpleX or Wire or Matrix?

        No phone number needed. Can run directly on a non-phone server.

        Also more secure and trustworthy because it’s open source.

  I think I read somewhere, that Signal just recently allowed registration without phone number (“just” a spare device and a one-time payment, it’s in Android Beta, apparently), so that’ll work now.
