I’ve been frustrated that the apps we love today constrain us to a single identifier: one number for @SignalApp @Whatsapp, for example. On the other hand, apps like @Telegram @NotionHQ allow us to sign in with different identifers (accounts).

As conflicts multiply within and between communities, it has become increasingly necessary to separate our identities to be safe and to preserve freedom of expression.

I wrote a piece on this topic and introduce a framework for evaluating apps on identity freedom.
