If signal gets the new username feature, this just might be what i do, so fricking tired of people just blindly giving random apps and websites their contact permissions and they get my contact as well, and there’s nothing i can do about it

    Exactly this. I setup a number in Trello from a zero population county, and I have a rule set up that if anybody calls that number from that same area code, to just drop the call. Really cuts down on spam effectively.

    But even if signal moves to nicknames, the phone number is the identity, so you better not lose that Sim card.
