Signal Piracy group (signal.group)

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

They pinky promise they don't maintain these relationships. Maybe even they really don't. But they have the ability to, if they were to change their mind, and that's the problem.

Use secure protocols which don't give anyone that ability.

Which ones do you suggest?

XMPP. Simplex.
