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

how is it not?

  • the worst kind of opensource, where you are not allowed to run the software yourself (or even fork it)
  • not indexable
  • requires signup with personal informations
  • forever tied to a single identity
  • not exportable to other services
  • no open formats for its storage

it’s a shitty service, by a shitty person. I know Moxie personally, and he is basically Elon Musk if he didn’t make it

Great… Signal is imperfect.

Can you suggest a perfect alternative?

At this point I’m just happy my family have tolerated it to the point we’re not using Facebook Messenger, Google chat (it whatever it’s called this month) and WhatsApp.

The xmpp or whatever other convoluted alternative you’re about to recommend is not something I’m going to get 20 or 30 family and friends to switch to.

Signal is imperfect… But not as bad as many other options.

here we are talking about piracy, especially the topic of discussing piracy. Just use a forum, even something like lemmy. Here you have everything you need, but without contributing to a piece of shit like Moxie nor putting everything behind a walled garden like discord (or any other chat software for this matter)
