Signal started as an e2e replacement for SMS, so it chose phone numbers on purpose to solve the discoverability problem, under the assumption that people will be communicating with all the same people who already have their number. Telegram has always been more social and more for communities or groups of potential strangers. The fact that people complain about Signal doxing you is in some ways a good sign, because it suggests Signal has become so popular and trusted that strangers want to use it to communicate privately. Signal helped pave the way for mainstream society to use communication tools that respect them without being a hacker or messing with a terminal. |
