Not very transparent.<br><br>A technology that says just trust me bro and uses vendor lock-in is a deeply defective design. Activitypub might have issues but it's being improved upon. There's no theoretical limit preventing federated apps from being secure or performant. <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/federation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#federation</a> gives power to everyone while everyone using signal is at the mercy of the company running it in the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#US</a>.<br><br>You can't really prevent spam by asking for phone numbers. Getting random spam / msg requests, calls from people on WhatsApp is common. Signal is just not popular enough to be targeted by spammers. <br><br>Signal takes the phone numbers to have the power to identify the users and their social graph (when needed). Vendor lock-in is also a power grab move. So I'm not surprised.<br><br>I do agree with some of your points like <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/electron" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electron</a> being the "standard" nowadays to ship (bloated) cross platform apps quickly.<br><br>Thanks for sending signal-cli and flare.
