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
@tallship In your example, all you'd have to do is block the ex-girlfriend on Signal. Furthermore, unless you accept her initial conversation request, she wouldn't be able to access any profile information of yours (profile name, picture, bio, etc.).
I'm looking forward to usernames and phone number #privacy as well. Hopefully, the team would be able to focus more on this after stories are out.
BTW, some #mastodon instances have a higher character count limit if you're into long posts.
