No. Signals okay for a drop in replacement for a phones built-in text messaging app (unfortunately really few of my contacts are using it) but once I'm on a laptop/PC there are way better messaging apps imo.

Signal feels slightly like the pigs in Animal Farm getting everyone riled up against the unjust farmers, only to take their place.

Signal is about _privacy_ not necessarily anonymity. Understand the difference?

edit: And anyways, if you read their blog posts you can see how you phone number is only required to make it easy to connect for the masses. You already have your social graph in your contact book.
