Still sucks you will need a phone number to use it though. Hopefully they adopt meshnet type technology similar to https://berty.tech so people can communicate even when the internet is shut off across all platforms with end to end encryption

Another day, another chat service.

Berty looks cool but is it just forming a BLE mesh or an I misunderstanding?

What is this stupid website. Cant open it because they have banned my IP. Why the fuck do they ban MullvadVPN servers?
- settinmoon ( @settinmoon@lemmy.ml ) 22•11 months ago
Some malicious users do use VPNs to send spams and many websites automatically bans these IPs. Normally switching to a different VPN server will resolve the issue.

Surprisingly it’s fine on Tor.
Try a different server. I’ve never had any issues accessing bleepingcomputer with Mullvad.

c’mon Signal, gimme that apk & I give you some logs in return, don’t make it hard on me
- online ( @online@lemmy.ml ) English13•11 months ago
They want you to do just that: https://community.signalusers.org/t/public-username-testing-staging-environment/56866 That link has instructions on how to sign up.

Download and installed but it still insists on a phone number. I don’t see a way to bypass.
- BobGnarley ( @BobGnarley@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months ago
I believe they still require a phone number for the TESTING phase but it can be the same oje you already use for your regular Signal (if im understanding it correctly)

A phone number will always be required to limit bot accounts.

Im an idiot visiting from the front page. But this headline without context is wild.

This is a feature that Session had right?
- Devjavu ( @Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 13•11 months ago
You know what Session also has? Well it ain’t forward secrecy.
- Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English2•11 months ago
True but I don’t think its that bad
- Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English5•11 months ago
Session doesn’t use phone numbers at all.
- MartinXYZ ( @MartinXYZ@kbin.social ) 8•11 months ago
Neither does Briar or SimpleX
- qprimed ( @qprimed@lemmy.ml ) English8•11 months ago
love me some briar, but signal is a legitimately decent privacy focued app with serious mindshare, adoption and ux/ui features. I love them both, but unless the other person is a technophile, signal is my go to recommendation and briar remains my “secret club” app.
- Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English2•11 months ago
True but I like where session is headed

They will allow to hide your phone number from your profile, but what about your profile name ? This will identify you after your username is used. So you must also remove your name from your profile, this will confuse your previous contacts (I’m not sure if names come from profile or contact list actually).
I feel the options for phone number display are not sufficient to have several privacy profiles.
