I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    reason Signal needs a phone number: populating your contact list

    Wrong, it is not optional.

    First, we must defeat WhatsApp and Discord.

    Do whatever works. Do not get derailed. Escaping WhatsApp and Discord, anti-libre software, has the highest return on investment.
