I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    No it doesn’t. What is a need? It is for troll and spam and bot protection. How does the links show that there is no need for it?
