Thank you for that. It was a really good read. 🙂
But still, that's really just an elegant way to farm particular aspects of ones identity and then hand it off to third parties; in particular, any other signal user that has your DID in their contact database, while absolving themselves (Signal) of any blame because they haven't revealed those identifiers to themselves.
It may sound innocent enough, but I actually see this as a much more egregious trespass.

500 character count limits really suck, lolz.
I have to add more to my previous sentiment:
Imagine (true story), an ex [dangerous stalker] girlfriend that you've finally rid yourself of and haven't heard from her in a couple of years.
You install Signal, and soon thereafter she begins sending you scary messages again after being reminded with a Signal notification that you were once an object of her insane obsessions.
I do look forward to usernames though. That will be awesome
