But more importantly, if you ever downgrade your X subscription, your account will revert back to […]

Following up on the last boost, and I don't really want to get into the whole Bluesky vs fedi thing, but I am curious about how folks feel about the different approaches to handles/usernames.

Not a fan of long, confusing usernames that are possible on BS.

#Signal’s New #Usernames Help Keep the #Cops Out of Your Data
Ephemeral usernames instead of #phonenumbers safeguard #privacy — and makes Signal even harder to #subpoena. https://theintercept.com/2024/03/04/signal-app-username-phone-number-privacy/ -
The introduction of usernames and the ability to hide your phone numbers from people and still communicate with them results in a new nice grow of groups on Signal Messenger.

@agreenberg @signalapp @Mer__edith
„[…] This means that in about 90 days, your phone number privacy settings will be honored by everyone using an official Signal app.“
I find the wording irritating if not alarming. It begs the question: What about „unofficial Signal apps“?!
I assume that this is just unlucky phrasing, but it would be nice if someone could confirm.

It appears the stable version of #Signal 7.0 (with #usernames and #PhoneNumberPrivacy) hasn’t made its way to #Android yet.
Is anyone seeing something different?
Edit: Signal 7.0.2 is now available on Google Play (and the Signal website).

Exciting news! #Discord is making changes to their usernyame system by removing discriminyators and introducing new, unique usernyames ([at]usernyame) and display nyames. This means that sharing your usernyame with friends will be easier and you'll have more control over your identity on Discord. New usernyames are lowercase, alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have discriminyators, making them easier to remember, read, type, and share. No more remembering those pesky four-digit numbers!
