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:

Yes, let's talk piracy behind some stupid walled garden. As if public conversations are not fragmented enough as it is

Signal is a walled garden?

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
