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.
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
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?
but for real, who is still using x? i thought it was just a bunch of mouth breather magas at this point.

Oh thats going to be bad news when musk sells them all that info
Everyone who’s not a paranoid leftist uses X; I find current information about every subject I’m interested in seconds
You sound like the type of guy who drives a cybertruck and practices Elons “odd hand gesture” in your bedroom at night.
Wrong, the science community is slowly switching to bluesky
And a bunch of them are on mastodon
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.
“Gotta find a way, a better way…”
Lol, Alex Jones style research. Using memes and headlines as news.
sounds like you do your own research
You don’t find iinformation, you find hot takes. Xitter is a cesspool if you want to learn about anything.

You sound like you’re about to lose your farm
Oddly, many reporters still do
The people who unfortunately have to get government updates from the place. After Facebook became a pain, Twitter became (for a while, when you didn’t have to log in) a pretty decent way to update people on things like roadworks or weather warnings.
That’s still half the US population though.
Joking for real, or seriously for real? The vast majority of people that used twitter are still using twitter. This applies to users in the united states, of course, but it especially applies to those in the entire rest of the world, where elon’s shit largely hasn’t crossed the culture/language barrier, or doesn’t matter to people.
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
And when they come, oh boy do they roll over and give it to them.
Damn I should use signal
Absolutely
And yet, sadly, there are only like 5 people in my entire contact list who use it.
What a shame…
Man… I’m getting tired of this guy.
…only just now?
Free Speech Absolutist 🤣
He meant “free speech abolitionist”, easy typo to make.

He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.

I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.
Welcome to America 2.0 : death to america, hello network state.
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal
“Our product is banned on twitter!”
