   @csaurus nice. Perhaps there is hope for Signal yet. The main issues are:
   
   

   • Stuck to Google push service, which your patch might address
   • Use of telephone numbers should be optional
   • Everyone on Moxie's server is not a good security model. Federate the servers.

     @csaurus My main beef with Signal is that by the time you've fixed all of its problems all you've really succeeded in doing is reinventing XMPP with OMEMO.

     @lnxw48a1 @csaurus I can't vouch for the accuracy because I'm not a Signal user, but I've read some pretty bad stories about involuntary phone number disclosure via that app.
