Session is an alternative that does not require, or request, your phone number (or any other identifying information). Honestly, I have no idea why Signal got popular and Sessions did not. As soon as Signal asked for my phone number that set off alarm bells for me and I’ve never really trusted it since.
Isn't Session the one with insane username strings?
Yes. That was how they avoided using identifying information from their users.
So the reason Session never took off is probably because exchanging contact information is a big hassle, effectively barring users looking for convenience?
Tried session? Anyone have comments on it? Nice to be able to skip the phone and easily use vpn, though I haven’t spent enough time on that.
