I recently found out that Signal supports stickers created by users and was very happy about it. For me, the easiest way to install was this site. Thank you, Signal developers!

I think nicknames may appear in beta in the not too distant future, as there is already a flag to enable this functionality. A phone number will still be required (you can use a VOIP number if you are not satisfied with this requirement). Decentralization? LOL. It's not about Signal by any means. The features are already being implemented slowly enough, and with decentralization we'll never see them at all. You'll have to go to Matrix or SimpleX for that.

Signal is already illegal in several countries. It's only a matter of time before it becomes illegal in its host country. Decentralization is the only way forward for a sustainable communication method

I agree. So I personally really like the way SimpleX is evolving. If the developer develops it further in the same direction, then in a year or two we will have a very good alternative to Signal. But decentralized, without a phone number, without the USA.
