All I know is since they introduced this feature I received 4 spam messages about crypto, whereas in the past several years I received 0 such messages. Overall a net negative for me.

You mean in the hour and a half it's been released...?

  • No, this happened over the past 2 months. I've received messages from accounts with female first names without any phone number (and obviously not in my address book). I suspect they were testing the username feature pre-release and bad actors already started taking advantage of it.

    It's 2 swipes to block and delete but a problem I never had to deal with before on Signal.
