For example, on WhatsApp, use the whole 25 character limit for profile name. Examples:
Bob Moved To Signal.org
Alice MovedTo Signal.org
CharlieMovedTo Signal.org
Say Signal.org, not Signal, because they won’t know it’s an app.
Use your about section too. Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, etc.
Kinda cringe ngl. Makes it sound you joined a crypto scheme.
I thought people had been moving OFF signal lately?
Personally, I’m on signal, but never signed up for a Meta property because, well, it was obvious from the start that they had bad privacy controls that depended only on corporate promises.
Why are people moving off signal?
No one is moving off Signal, don’t listen to him
I think because simpleX is more open source, self-hosted, and maybe slightly more anonymous. Not sure how the usability trades off for that if at all because I haven’t used it (I mainly use signal and discord)
It also doesn’t seem to be a mass migration by any means, just that simpleX is a bit better if you are super hardcore about your privacy.
Its not more open source. It is at all. Signal is dependent on the backend which is as proprietary as bluesky. You can absolutely not self host it which technically binds you to the next single point of failure.
The Signal server is centralized, but it is also still open source under the AGPL license: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Its a LOT more anonymous, not slightly.
For the overwhelming majority of users phone number alone = no anonymity, then there’s the fact you’re relying on a corporation to store all your messages on their closed source centralized server…
