> I'd get a "So-and-so joined Signal!" notification for a bunch of randos

One of the reasons I wish I could use something other than my phone number and access to my contact list to work with signal is these notifications creep me the fuck out and I would rather never get them, or have anyone get them about me.

I'm fine with it being a feature for people who want it, but I don't. I want to make my own damn choices about who I talk to through it.
