   @cherti @clayton if Signal does eliminate the phone number issue that will change things somewhat, tho after all these years, I'm not holding my breath. Also, can I use Signal Desktop with my phone off yet? Or must I be physically trackable to send messages still?

     @dk @clayton so if Signal is Radio Free Asia 2.0 and malicious US intelligence money, why is it suddenly any better when they remove phone number requirements? sounds very inconsistent to me.

     regarding Desktop: you could always use Signal Desktop when the phone is off. It was this way from the start and never has been any different.
     Given you weren't aware, maybe some of the other information you've put forward might also not actually be as as accurate and black/white as you make it seem. :)
