      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.

    It is shocking how addicted people are to this app that no quantity of diminished functionality will make them leave. It’s like that Russian opiate that makes all your skin fall off. Crazy shit.

    Well, them go Telegram? He would not want to block his right wing friends, too, would he?

    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.

      • what would be a decent URL shortener that meets this criteria?
      • any pointers to host one’s own shortener? mainly i’m thinking of registrars, but also the mechanics to transform links and store data for a few days

      Musk blocking Signal links makes me just a bit happier about my Signal donation every month :>

    I’m surprised DOGE themselves aren’t using it to skirt FOIA.

    Or maybe they are.

    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.
