It's pretty easy to detect spam. I guess user reports and noticing when someone suddenly messages many new users and those users do not respond.
Anyway, it's not an issue on Wire or SimpleX or the dozens of other platforms that don't require phone numbers. It's obviously a solved problem. Signal is just making up fake excuses.

It's not so easy, because you could even register a new account for each new spam message, or register 100k accounts & only send out 3 messages a day / account..
Bullllllllshit.
They've said that for years. It's easy to do. But they won't do it
How's it easy?
Not the technical part (which definitely looks as easy as just dropping a requirement), but the spam/abuse prevention part.

Social media is different from a platform that's literally just DMs.

Obviously not. Because this isn't an issue elsewhere
No need, using https://keet.io/
So, no asynchronous messaging? Kinda kills it.
