I used to be a member of several Signal groups: Gaming on Linux, Free Software, the Lounge… but recently I lost access to the device I used for Signal. Several members there are dbzer0 users, and I’m hoping I can get another invite.

Signal groups?.. Oh! That’s why people wanted usernames.
No. Signal is for people I know.
To me, signal is for friends. Not huge, unknown groups.
Like facebook but they fucked it up. In the early days it was nice to chat with friends.
I’m not on Signal because Signal thinks you should only be able to create an account on an android or ios device so I respect their wishes and don’t create one.

I use Signal for messaging. In fact I only use it on mobile devices for short stuff.
Any discussion that takes more time than typing s few short sentences (but is usually also less time-sensitive) I do on the desktop app already.
So Signal is definitely not the right platform for me to talk about hobbbies or other interests. That’s not what it was originally designed for. And that’s not what I will ever use Signal for even if it can nowadays cover that area somewhat.

I’m in some matrix group chats, but since usernames were added it wouldn’t be strange in signal either. But I always mute all groupchats, and read them later.
None. Never.
Matrix is better for an alternative to those Telegram groups that are basically modern IRC.

Although feeling the same as the other commenters, I gave it benefit of doubt. Using it for 2 groups, Openstreetmap and CoMaps. It works more or less.
