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

Tracker Control is blocking me from joining. Weird that Molly (its a hardened signal fork) is showing amazon is being contacted when trying to join the group.

I can unblock it but its weird. I also noticed the other domains its been trying to (unsuccessfully) contact.

Signal uses AWS.

Only for groups? Why thing else has worked fine for the 9months I've had signal.

I think signal servers may be using aws hosting.

Signal uses Amazon's servers, look it up. It's all encrypted of course.
