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 big were the telegram chat rooms? Did they ever get that big? The only chatroom I've seen with over 1k people is on matrix and it was relatively quiet. If there's a 1k limit, probably the admin will have to kick inactive users.

Way bigger. You could have many thousands.

What the fuck? I've never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos...

Or are those "just" distribution channels aka admin only posts?

Thoose given are distrubution channels, but there are group chats like t.me/durovschat which is 12k members. I forgot the limits which i think is 200k for chatroom and infinite(?) for distrubution channels

Edit: yeah its 200k and infinite in "broadcast groups"

Definitely just "distribution"

Sounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they'll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.

Toots?...

[–] montar@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mastodon i guess.

Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it's Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person's point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn't be great there, since it's not a private group of just the interested parties.
