    How I Got a Truly Anonymous XMPP Account:

    • Open my client (e.g. Conversations, Monal, Dino)
    • Pick a random server, username and password
    • Click register

    Sorry, it’s a cheap joke, but it still baffles me that Signal requires a phone number, so I felt I had to post it :)

    Of course, this is not XMPP-specific either, just my protocol of choice, there are many other open alternatives that also offer such functionality.
