Exposing my DID and then farming my contact database so it can tell me when people I know sign up for #Signal (and Vice Verse - it tells people who have your DID in their contact database when you're a signal user too) is an egregious invasion of my privacy!!!

I do understand that Signal has been working to get rid of the #DID requirement, and received notification of such a day or so ago, but there's still a bad taste left in my mouth for encroachments.

Prefer to recommend that folks install #Conversations, #Cheogram, and other forks from F-Droid:

Cheogram | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

And here's the sanitized URL to this great resource for those who want to shield themselves from tracking, protecting their privacy:

web client -they're mostly looking for #Fediverse web clients - Pinafore is a Fediverse web client, perhaps you can retool your client to support other Fediverse server types like #Pinafore does?

Maybe something like:

fe.SoapBox.Pub

That supports a wide range of Fediverse server platforms, and of course, mastobrand is included in that list.

I hope that helps!
