Signal requires phone numbers for sign-up.

Why isn't there a fork of signal without phone number sign up?

That requires only a username for texting?



Well, there's https://getsession.org


Thanks! I don't know about this


I only know molly [1] which is a encrypted signal fork but requires phone number
