Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal - Signal has been a primary method of communication for federal workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE.

It is shocking how addicted people are to this app that no quantity of diminished functionality will make them leave. It's like that Russian opiate that makes all your skin fall off. Crazy shit.
-
I feel the size way about the current state of television.
-
They fall under the presidential records act so they aren't subject to FOIA until the 2030s.
-
Don't he previously foster Signal in 2021?

They always do
-
It's called крокодил I think
-
They claim they fall under the Presidential Records Act, but they're lying.
-
"Free speech extremist"
-
why would someone still be using x at this time for starters is something that baffles me.
-
Time to donate to signal again
-
It's said as krokodil correct? Means crocodile because your skin will look like a crocodile's. I watched a video I wish I'd never seen where some medical workers took off a user's boot and his foot came off with it.
-
Isn't it strange that when you believe in an oligarch. They never disappoint.
-
Nice try Elon.
-
Circle jerking, I guess? Same reason I use lemmy
-
Musk blocking Signal links makes me just a bit happier about my Signal donation every month
-
I've gotta donate the signal and spread the word, it's been my messaging goat for years
-
He never said he wants free speech for everyone
TBH the shame should be on those who believed that Musk could somehow be the first right-wing extremist in history that wished the people at large had more rights and more freedoms.

"blocks links to Signal"
What does that even means? It's not twitter; people are not sharing Signal links. -
This just means you wrap your signal links in a URL shortener.
A slight hassle; but all the more reason to hate the muskratt.
We should be quietly linking anyone with a need to send a signal link to a nice privacy respecting URL shortening instance somewhere that will basically delete the link in 3-7 days unless told otherwise to keep it around by the user at creation.
-
questions, not to you specifically, but to anyone who stumbles upon this thread.
- what would be a decent URL shortener that meets this criteria?
- any pointers to host one's own shortener? mainly i'm thinking of registrars, but also the mechanics to transform links and store data for a few days
