Yes, you can use Signal without sharing your personal phone number. Here’s how I did it.

    If I asked 10 people to give me their home address, they’re not going to care whether someone defines that as privacy or anonymity. But signal’s reliance on phone number’s (which are easily linked to your identity and home address in most countries) as the primary identifier means giving away just that.

    Why do people feel the need to split hairs with these terms?
