You shouldn’t be forced to be anonymous. If you want to pick the same username, you should be able to. But even so, there’s still a required number at the end. So unless your username elsewhere ends in 2 digits and isn’t already taken, then you can’t pick it anyway
guessing it would mean that people wont be using the same username as they do on every other account. So if doodlebop69 can’t be traced from signal they could go to google and find the same doodlebop69 to grab their information from

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

But doodlebug69 needs to accept a message from you before you can see their profile info.
They have the username already, they don’t need to see their profile info to search for a username
