I’ve never used Signal, so can’t speak to it’s quality, but the founder’s attitude is pretty funny
Usernames are a thing now, so it's no longer necessary to share your phone number with other users.
Still good to make your contacts find you easily
It still requires a phone number to make an account though iirc
You can use usernames, so I think it's great for communicating with people who you don't want to share your phone number with too
