Now that we can create and delete usernames at will, do people have any concerns about giving people they meet their Signal ID? I have no fears of it. In fact, my Signal is oozic.35 if anyone wanta to message me.

I have given names to people on the Internet and changed names after our conversation was finished. I think that is much better than giving someone a phone number and much easier to change.
I do fully agree with you. It’s easier to delete a username. My point was for giing someone your phone number, random people don’t obsess over it the way the fear is hyped up about giving someone a phone number. People freely given a phone number to a business, for people to use that number, but terried to give it to a person, that’s a contradiction.
I believe hype about the fear of giving a number is a reflection of that person’s social dysfunction along with callousness. If someone says they are scared to give someone on the street their phone number, whom they can block, that is a reflection of their delusional self-aggrandizing narcissism.
I don’t disagree with you either. But I think that when people give their phone number to a business they are often unaware of all of the nefarious ways it will be used, whether by ignorance or deception.
My point is just that replaceable usernames are perfect for random people you meet IRL or on the Internet because it’s minimal trouble to disconnect permanently when the time comes.
I fully agree, except about when it’s time to disconnect, that sounds like you go into every interaction expecting a ime that you will ultimatey cut that person out of your life. Or you go into every situation assiming at some point you will have nothing to do with someone. That’s a self fulfilling mindset.
