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

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

      But Signal is open source..?

      Getting a phone number was relatively cheap and easy, so for a one-off implementation, Signal was an easy choice as it’s what many friends and family already use.

        The phone number part significantly degrades your privacy and security
