Signal will finally let you transfer your encrypted chat history to new linked devices

Yeah, it absolutely is. But just being FOSS does not guarantee that its development would be forked in a sufficient way should something bad happen. Especially since they use Haskell, and I heard that it is not very common thus decreasing the survival chances. Sure hope it is cool enough to still warrant a fork, though.

The "nothing to hide" thing is a bad argument, IMO. I've got nothing to hide, but I lock the bathroom door when I go in there.
Sometimes it's been useful to go back through a chat history and find something someone said in the past. A group I'm in regularly rings up old references from a year before. I like it.
I'm a bit of a digital hoarder though. I keep blurry photos from years ago, no clue why.

Oooh interesting! Could you please elaborate / share any resources about this?

Yes. For quite a while now.

Yeah looks like you still need a number to sign up for an account

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were asking if they had usernames that could be used in lieu of a phone number as a contact.

I just set up molly today, along with mollysocket and an ntfy server. Liking it so far, just need to get my friends to migrate...

This is wonderful, thank you so much!
I’ve been holding off from switching to Android (and getting a GrapheneOS x Pixel phone) because I have 5 years’ worth of messages on Signal on my iPhone… I’ll look into this method for sure
