Finally, we can have usernames in Signal instead of giving our phone number to everybody.

    You’re referring to anonymity, not privacy.

    Matrix/Element is slower than shit. I don’t understand why anyone recommends this.

    Session is also slow but that’s not even a problem because I don’t know anyone who’s even heard of it, much less used it, and that’s mostly because it doesn’t have phone numbers.

    At least some people I know are on Signal and I can easily discover them by phone #. Or at least I used to.

      Anonymity is part of privacy; not a dichotomy.

      Been using matrix as my primary communication method (including bridges to other networks for things like Slack and WhatsApp) for over 3 years now, doesn’t feel slow?
