Between a burner or a VOIP number there seem to be options, and I’m not sure that Signal dropping their requirement would improve the platform.
As I said, a burner isn’t an option, as that still requires registration, and a VOIP number costs money.
At the stated goal, of being a free app to allow people to avoid government surveillance, Signal is failing horribly.
It sounds like it works well for about 5/6ths of the world’s population.
A secure messenger that only works when you have a government that respects their citizens privacy isn't very useful, is it?
It works in the US where the govt doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word “privacy” so, yes it seems to work. It works elsewhere too, but understandably it might require money or effort to get going.
