    Another reason to move to Signal

      As an aside, I’d personally prefer the option to use email instead of phone numbers on Signal.

        Apparently it’s coming. It’s been on the way for quite some time, but the chatter I see suggests it is actively being worked on.

          If you go to the View Safety Number page of a chat, you’ll see that they’re changing the safety numbers. Here’s the explanation they gave.

          Image: Why are safety numbers being updated? //
The legacy safety number format depended on phone numbers. The new safety number format does not. //
In order to support upcoming features like usernames, where you will be able to start a conversation using someone's Signal username without necessarily knowing their phone number, the way that safety numbers are generated needs to be updated too. //
On a technical level, the legacy safety number format is a numeric hash of the associated phone numbers and public keys. Instead of using phone numbers, the new safety number format is a numeric hash of the associated account IDs and public keys. //
The set of public keys that are verified during the comparison process is exactly the same.

          I’m glad to see progress is being made! I wonder if after usernames are added people will use it to message people on the internet, like discord is used.
