least thick skinned wannabe “politician” I’ve ever seen.
This just means you wrap your signal links in a URL shortener.
A slight hassle; but all the more reason to hate the muskratt.
We should be quietly linking anyone with a need to send a signal link to a nice privacy respecting URL shortening instance somewhere that will basically delete the link in 3-7 days unless told otherwise to keep it around by the user at creation.
Heck; host your own URL shortener while you’re at it.
questions, not to you specifically, but to anyone who stumbles upon this thread.
I use Shlink, you can probably host it on a little digitalocean droplet or something similar.
“blocks links to Signal” What does that even means? It’s not twitter; people are not sharing Signal links.
Most likely invite links to various groups / contacts
I’ve gotta donate the signal and spread the word, it’s been my messaging goat for years
Isn’t it strange that when you believe in an oligarch, they never disappoint.
Time to donate to signal again
Monthly for me

why would someone still be using x at this time for starters is something that baffles me.
Circle jerking, I guess? Same reason I use lemmy :)
“Free speech extremist”
Didn’t he foster Signal in 2021? https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1347165127036977153

Ikr? I used Reddit for well over a decade, and left without an issue after the APIpocolypse. Did the same with Proton a couple weeks ago. I have no loyalties in tech.
Nice try Elon.
Just like the seventies, anarchy is the only way forward to get out of this lying twisted thieving divisive oligarch of politics running my country for the last quarter century plus.
It’s called крокодил I think
It’s said as krokodil correct? Means crocodile because your skin will look like a crocodile’s. I watched a video I wish I’d never seen where some medical workers took off a user’s boot and his foot came off with it.
That’s exactly right.
I feel the same way about the current state of television.
Burn your TV.
Well, them go Telegram? He would not want to block his right wing friends, too, would he?
He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
He never said he wants free speech for everyone :) TBH the shame should be on those who believed that Musk could somehow be the first right-wing extremist in history that wished the people at large had more rights and more freedoms.
Yes he fucking did. He called himself a “free speech absolutist” which was just a blatant lie just like every other sentence that has farted out of his Nazi lips.
They always do
@bigfoot free advertising for signal imo
There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you’re a whistleblower, you’re going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.
Remember when he said to “use signal”? Pepperidge farm remembers.
