@Mer__edith thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! ❤️❤️❤️🥰
@Mer__edith thank you! ❤️
@Mer__edith congrats!
@Mer__edith Are you planning to add channels? They should not be anonymous or encrypted in any way
@Mer__edith if I share my username with someone do they see my number?
@Mer__edith
On Android? I can't see the option...
@Mer__edith it specifically says only share the username with people you trust. Is this because of general privacy practice or are there concerns about the implementation for public scenarios (e.g., if you put it in a business card, profile picture, etc.)? Also, is the naming scheme experimental (e.g., Discord doing away with number flags later)?
@Mer__edith Thanks!
@Mer__edith I use the apk version from signal website due to the main app not supporting ntfy notifications. I haven't receive the update yet. Is there any update disparity between the 2 versions?
@Mer__edith is it necessary to wait for everyone to get on 7.0 (those 90days) to avoid leaking the account to people that already have my number?
@Mer__edith This is great news.
@Mer__edith Thank you @signalapp team! I have now sent reminders to all my Signal contacts about this, signing the message with "Signal's heiress".
@Mer__edith This was "why I don't use Signal", so I guess it's time for me to use Signal.
@Mer__edith Merci beaucoup!
@Mer__edith
The username minimum is 3 characters.
No.
@Mer__edith Why must usernames include a 2-digit number at the end?
@Mer__edith a username with a dot and at least 2 digits. 😐
@Mer__edith Respect!!!
@Mer__edith this is *HUGE*! Thank you and everyone who worked on this!
@Mer__edith Why can only letters and numbers be used for user names? No special characters or other fonts?
@Mer__edith But please make it possible with different characters (different formatting). Currently only pure letters and numbers are possible
@Mer__edith
Just did! Apologies and congratulations to all!
@Mer__edith @Distante why not? that's basically one feature missing to replace telegram for many people.
