- requires a phone number
- requires access to that number, or your location, when changing devices
- use of captcha services
- black box / closed source / centralised backend
- persistent identifier that doxes you across group chats
whilst signal is much better than TG or WA, it lags behind Simplex, nostr private messengers, and matrix.
The persistent identity is the biggest issue. If we encouraged our staff to talk to clients over signal, their personal (signal) identities would be doxxed. It is much harder (and costlier) to spin up a dedicated work (or project) identity with signal than with the aforementioned services.
