most likely a spam detection issue.

I wish europe banned anhy of the american social media, my applications would finally have a chance. But europeans won't do that because they are huge pussies when it comes to americans. Unlike the chinese who created a whole internet universe for themselves, and they don't even bother translating it to english anymore

And yet, sadly, there are only like 5 people in my entire contact list who use it.

What a shame...

I hope Signal doesnt end up getting outlawed in the US. Elon musk seems to be against it now, and he has a lot of power these days.

There's a saying some of our american comrads have: come and take it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

And when they come, oh boy do they roll over and give it to them.

That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal

"Our product is banned on twitter!"

Now if more is Americans would listen and move this platform.

It is a matter time before they try to get it banned.

The first step would probably be to try and revoke their tax exempt non profit status. But I'm confident the Signal Foundation would at that point just move to another jurisdiction. Maybe Canada, Switzerland or something like that.

Ahem excuse me you must mean the 51st state, or Switzerland, or something like that

Canada going to be 52nd state--after Greendland 😆😆 (just kidding)

Would Mexico and Panama be the 53rd and 54th then?

So, basically, you can be 100% sure that he has the ability to read your messages on other platforms.

They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.

This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.

Free speech absolution guy who promotrd Signal not that long ago, only likes free speech (and most likely only signal) for me but not for thee

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is huge. But there's such an onslaught of stuff coming it doesn't get the attention needed

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

They are flooding the zone... The real crime is actually buried while fake news running distrations with bullshit

[–] [email protected] 58 points 5 days ago

He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Free speech readings, increasing! Liberty levels, maximum! Freedom metrics, exploding!!! IMA BUSSSS!!!!.....oh nvm, the techno-fascist douchebag was a lying hypocrite the whole time.
