For the first time ever I've started receiving spam on Signal over the past couple of weeks. Not floods, but messages here and there which I report and block. Could this be to do with Signal's new username feature,[1] or could it just be that Signal has become mainstream enough that Spammers have invested in it?

Damn spam, Signal used to be a haven from it.
