I'd put it on my website, which contains my real name anyway, but Signal says that I should only share it with people I trust. Also, the link (signal.me/...) contains long base64 string with unknown content. What do you think?

Yeah it automatically obfuscates. Mine is *******, for example.

All my usernames & passwords are hunter12 and I don't mind sharing them everywhere because my smartphone always automatically turns it into asterisks because someone on 4chan told me so.

Hey, it doesn't look obfuscated to me?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

To me it does, maybe your phone has automatic encryption. Maybe send.your passwords so we can see if its decrypting automatically or not /s

That's because it's your username. To you it shows normal, all I see is hunter12. See?

You can share your signal username. Mine is donnietello.01

Once you've shared it, if you're getting a lot of spam you can just change it and it won't change anything about your current conversations. It's essentially just an invite link.

Probably just two or three ultra-nerds.

Art of Reverse Scraping. Now the previous commenter will get at least a couple known good Signal handles to spam for a little.

If you change it, do you have to tell all your trusted contacts what you changed it to?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Nope. Its not used for continued conversations. Just for starting them. If you change your username, your contacts will not see any difference.
