I hope that they make it so you can register WITHOUT a phone number. Perfectly fine if it's not the default. This is post is currently implying that is not currently the case.

So this puts signal on par with telegram, not above? Am I missing something?
Telegram's encryption is opt-in which means most people don't use the encrypted chats at all.
Yep, a great example: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#phon...
Signal is private, but not anonymous. Related, but two different things.
Afaik you can crrate an account without a number.
No. You can just hide it from other users in group chats now (and perhaps 1:1, didn't yet check but you still need one to sign up)
Where is the option for group chats please?
Does that require the sealed-sender thingy?
Not yet, but they are working on that.
