Signal is built on top of the phone number system (ie. falling back to SMS, phone numbers as ids). Telephony is pretty clearly a federated system - somebody on one carrier can talk to another; even internationally.

I find it so ironic that he doesn't "support federated systems" when the Signal is tied to one.
