This is how Signal should have been designed in the first place.

Without phone-number based contact finding signal wouldn't be relevant enough to matter.

Security and privacy be damned.

IRC, AIM, and BBM did ok without it. We humans like talking to each other. We figure it out.

[–] erwan@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago

Those were before the smartphone era.

Humans like to talk to each other, but when an easier choice exist the slightly harder one doesn't stand a chance.

Arent these 3 pretty irrelevant now(in the general population)? That doesn't show a good track record.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

None of those are relevant today, phone numbers still are.
