Agree that the majority of users desire for anonymity is without merit, but so is requiring users to identify themselves.

If a user is willing to put up with a less useful and usable version of Signal - they should be allowed to use it without identifying themselves.

Beyond this issue, there are others that me show a troubling pattern. For example, Moxie has refused to post a "warrant canary" for US National Security Letters.

In spirit, I like Moxie, in practice, I feel like he's the captain of ship flying a false flag.

Anonymity isn't Signal's goal, simple as that. If you're looking for anonymous messaging, you'll have to search elsewhere.

OWS recently received a subpoena and fought to be able to publish it (and their response), the only data they could provide were registration and last contact timestamps.
