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.

    If you delete your username, yes, potentially someone else could use it. The upside of that is if your username gets reported after it’s deleted, it can’t be tied to anyone if it’s not in use. The Signal service won’t have a record since users can create and delete names at will, delete one, create a different one. It provides more anonimity due ro temporary usernames.
