Signal:
Settings -> Privacy -> Advanced -> Censorship Circumvention
Signal is a social media platform?
It’s in the “to be blocked” list posted.
I guess that centralized server thing is working out real well then. /s
Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.
Do you think they will be blocking every single Mastodon server in existence?
signal has stories now, so I’d say yes
Bah, more reason to avoid Signal. For private communications I want an antisocial network, not the opposite.
eh, just dont use it. beats a lot of other alternatives at the moment
I think it’s a silly feature for a messaging app, but it has no impact on me if I ignore the feature.
It does say something about the mindset of the vendor, which is a legit reason to decide not to use an app. From what I can tell, Teslas are pretty good cars despite some issues here and there. But Elon’s antics are enough to make me decide not to buy one.
I’m not sure adding a questionable social feature to a messaging app is reasonably comparable to the very long list of insane and/or evil shit Musk has done.
Like any messaging system, Signal’s utility is proportional to its userbase. If stories get more people to use it without making it worse for people who don’t care, then they’re a good idea even if I think everything else about the concept is bad.
Depends on how you want to look at it. They have “stories” which could most certainly be considered that.
