“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”
This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍
In my opinion, Signal isn’t trying to be a Matrix alternative. Anonymity between users isn’t their objective, they mostly want to be a none profit alternative to WhatsApp, Messenger, etc… with strong E2E encryption. Phone numbers is ultimately the best way to discover new users as soon as you install the app.
