From what I can read, there is no mention of being able to register a new account without a phone number. It's all about not giving your phone number to anyone else (Signal of course already has it, and automatically ties it to your username).

If new accounts can be created without requiring a phone number, this is actual privacy improvement. If not, it's PR bullshit.

Has anyone tested this?

@andymouse @evacide "you will still need a phone number to sign up for Signal"
This is just for contacts

@andymouse @evacide what do you use that provides what you are describing that is as good as signal E2EE?

@andymouse respectfully, it makes a huge difference. I am a lot less concerned about Signal having my phone number than I am about every random I happen to be in a group chat with being automatically given my phone number.
