I saw some threads here about Telegram and piracy stuff being banned. So, as an experimental alternative, I created a public Signal group for piracy.

Maybe it'll be useful?

Before joining

Signal supports usernames and hiding telephone numbers. Here's a blog entry on how to do so. You might want to:

set a username
change your profile name (these are two separate things!)
hide your phone number

I thought signing up for Signal required a phone number and phone app -- and all phones have IMEI besides many other nightmare anti-features.

For the normies it's fine but tbh I'm not sure it's as advertised.

What ever happened to that odd old app called tox?

Honestly I could see a version of DeltaChat + GPG make some gains in popularity but I would argue the email relay servers and spam lists are rigged for max surveillance.

Are we at the point where tech from 20 years ago may be the way lmao.

XMPP, IRC, ICQ /s

Matrix is probably the best bet but some of their apps and clients seem like dogshit. And I am saying that as someone who uses them daily. And the whole "server" thing is a PITA, or it used to be at least.

I guess we'll just have to use carrier pidgin and cypherto encrypt the cat gifs /s

Carrier Pidgin. Lol. Made me chuckle!
