I chose mine and I've been using Signal for so long I remember when no one knew about it really, and were wondering why I am using it. I kinda forced everyone who wanted to contact me to use Signal else they could not. So I am happy to see the progress that's being made and how much more popular it has become.

@Mer__edith I truly enjoy the sharpness you show when being interviewed about tech in general - no bla bla bla that we are all so sick of. I just "discovered" you haha.

Anyway, I noticed now that the usernames are available for more people that I start to get a bunch of spam friends requests on Signal. I wonder if this is going to become more of an issue because of the introduction of usernames.
