I do not understand why your comment got downvoted: I do receive spam in Signal, because i had to register a phone number. I loose my chat history if I do not log into the desktop client for FIXNUM days. The desktop client may crash as soon as you kill its supporting terminal. I have tried the user name feature once and signal reported, that they had lost my username, I would need to create a new one. I have not tried backup and restore. So far I am not in the mood for a potential failure.
