Now that we can create and delete usernames at will, do people have any concerns about giving people they meet their Signal ID? I have no fears of it. In fact, my Signal is oozic.35 if anyone wanta to message me.

I wouldn’t just give to any random stranger without them even requesting it, because why would I? But if I met someone, I probably would have given them my phone number anyway. What’s insecure about that? I can always block them.
I can see someone who is in a very sensitive situation, like trying to escape domestic abuse, or starting a protest, might want the anonymity but still need the communication.
I fully agree about blocking. Giving someone your phone number is not as scary as the internet portrays it to be. In fact, people are hypocritcal, because they will give their number to a business where mutiple real people can access their info, but if they give their number to a person, they delusionally think stalker, harasser. People think way too much of themself. If I have a person’s name and phone number, if I don’t speak to them, I will get rid of their number. People don’t care about getting a random number as much as the internet portrays it.

That woild make for good info sec. I would be curious to test how it does for numbers that are not a cell number, and anonymously paid numbers. I can get my wn number without a name for that phone number and pay for the phone service with crypto and cash.
