Notice how nothing has changed about the in-app experience? 😎

Are users... scared of federation?

The best compromise might be similar to how it works currently

Right now you enter your username, and then a number is randomly generated but you can change it manually.

Randomly generate both, and allow the user to change both

Since this was originally a Mastodon post, here it is :)

It's fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)

This would be better suited for one of these other communities

Yea for me it expands the number of people I might use signal with

I am more comfortable adding people on FB messenger than I am giving them my number. This fixes that, so I can add a lot more

I never bothered to check, but are there multiple organizations making different names? Or just one that has no consistency whatsoever

I wasn't super clear in my first comment, I clarified more here

This was more about digging further into why some words feel correct over others, and if the pattern is consistent enough to define it as:

  • "This": for when the date is present in the current week (Sunday-Saturday)"
  • "Next": for when the date is present in the next week (starting on the following Sunday)

If there's a chance of ambiguity, I usually clarify

Yep that makes sense :)

Oh yes, I guess I should add more words to the examples

  • "Next Saturday I will go to the movies"
  • "This Saturday I will go to the movies"

"this" feels more appropriate

  • "Next Sunday I will go to the movies"
  • "This Sunday I will go to the movies"

"next" feels more appropriate

Even with the "coming" to clarify, it feels more natural to associate "this" with items that are in this week (Sunday to Saturday) and "next" with items that start on the following week's Sunday
