Natanji ‏✅ is a user on octodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse. If you don't, you can sign up here.

I didn't know this was possible, but apparently you can now use Signal anonymously.

This is enabled by using publicly available phone numbers together with a new "Registration Lock" feature which prevents re-registering such a phone number (since users don't own them) and thereby stealing the account.

@natanji Only in the US or Canada, and not very easy to do. Better to use #Wire.

@jeroenpraat As far as I understand the procedure, you don't need to be in the US or Canada. You will get a US or Canada phone number to use for Signal, yes, but that doesn't matter at all. It's just a random number.
