Why is this not linked in the sidebar?

edit: No matter what one thinks about the privacy aspects of Signal: If its an official discussion group of this community it should be in the sidebar - just like the Discord group. I therefore assume it's unofficial or maybe not even related to this comunity?

IMO because it’s a Signal group and you can’t separate user profiles and have to register with a phone number (yeah I know I know you have a username now). Some people including me won’t join therefore

Because Signal does not fully respect your privacy.

If by that you mean the Unix time, then yeah, but There has been documents showing that Signal doesn't store sensitive plaintext data.

They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.
