Signal just released the usernames for both desktop and mobile now, with phone number hiding. This makes it easy to join groups without leaking info to the group.

Get the full guide w/ dope groups to join, including Monero focused ones from Tuxsudo of the MoneroTalk podcast: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/signal-usernames-desktop/

@prancing389 @SummerBreeze Abandoned in favor of more private/resilient options by privacy fetishists like many of us in the #monero community. True.

But ... !

a) You'd be amazed how amazingly poor OpSec people have generally, and criminals in particular. A shocking number of *public* social media posts including the accused and the corpus delicti come up in court documents.

b) Signal is easier for my Mom than Matrix.

Making more privacy the default in more apps is an unmitigated Good Thing.

Have your Mom try Session Messenger, it does not ask for an email or a phone number, and is a little less complicated than Matrix.
