Because you want to use it to talk to your friends, who know who you are anyway? I don’t get this need to wipe yourself completely from the face of the Earth.

IMO the issue with Signal’s lack of anonymity isn’t that your friends know who you are; it’s that Signal itself can build a graph of everybody’s contacts.

I mean, yes, I understand that Facebook, Google and a bunch of other companies can get the same info, but if I’m going to switch to something to be an improvement I would ideally want it to improve all the way instead of halfway.
