Recently, the Prav app was released in F-droid. In this application, registration is by phone number.
What do you think about this?
@Slow@lemmy.today I think it works well for people who don’t know how to use email.
Not gonna happen. I have a “burner” number too, but I still won’t give that to anyone if I can avoid it.
Most users care more about contact discovery than privacy so it makes sense for them to implement it and unlike Signal, it uses #xmpp so everyone has the freedom to use any other app that doesn’t require a phone number and you are still able communicate with everyone on Prav.
No thanks, I’d rather set up my own XMPP or Matrix server.
