For example, on WhatsApp, use the whole 25 character limit for profile name. Examples:

Bob Moved To Signal.org

Alice MovedTo Signal.org

CharlieMovedTo Signal.org

Say Signal.org, not Signal, because they won’t know it’s an app.

Use your about section too. Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, etc.

    Signal aint perfect and current leadership is sus… giving me 'em Mozilla vibes.

    I foresee another migration in my feature but currently it is the gold standard for at least some keeping your msg content “private”

    Meta data collection is still a huge issue with Signal and its architecture nearly built this feature into it.

      Signal is designed to collect meta-metadata. They don’t hold any information that can tie a person to their account, but they definitely know how those accounts interact via their servers.
