@Tutanota Your graph is no longer accurate as Signal now offer an option without revealing your phone number.
@etherealfields @Tutanota yes, but still needs one to register
@Erklaerbaer Good point!
@etherealfields @Tutanota But phone number is still required to log in and use it.
@draisinen_dieter , yup already been pointed out, thanks - looking at Threema :)
@etherealfields @Tutanota They still require a phone number to use so no, it's not a viable option.

"The less identifiers a database has, such as your real name, email, and phone number, the better. These are linkable attributes that only the sender and recipient should know, not the server or any intermediaries."
@etherealfields @Tutanota But Signal still needs your phone number. You're not anonymous to Signal, or to anyone using an older Signal client from before usernames. And usernames aren't exactly anonymous, either.
