At least one user had their Signal number re-registered by an attacker.

    I tried finding the GitHub issue that asks for Signal to stop relying on phone numbers. I can’t find it. Do you [whoever is reading this] know where the issue is at?

      Github Issues are only for bug reports, the Username feature is tracked here https://community.signalusers.org/t/usernames-in-signal/9157

        Now you can request “enhancements” too in the issue section. See https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

          That’s… nice but I’m talking about how Signal handles Github issues

            My bad, I thought enhancement requests were widespread all around Github, because I didn’t check how Signal handles issues there.
