Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service
-
It's not easy to leave WhatsApp. I've transitioned to Signal a month ago and lost contact with a lot of people. My friends and family think I'm going crazy for attitudes like these. "You can't change the world on your own".. like that was the plan
Thanks Musk, that was the motivation I needed to keep away from WhatsApp.
Obviously not a X/Twitter user, I'm not a fkin idiot.
Leaving is never really an option. But running the two apps side by side still works.

It varies, I guess. Some people might not be able to leave due to their job for example.
I left, it's an option for me. And I'm not coming back, I don't want to admit defeat.
I'm in an island now, it's annoying how these companies penetrated our lives.

"You can check out any time you like... But you can never leeeave."

What about using Matrix?
I'm pretty sure that you can bridge Matrix with WhatsApp.

Been using Signal for years. Love it.
Makes sense than an anti-free speech dipshit like Elon Musk would oppose it.

I would really like to know who is using 'X' now ? I mean apart from Musk and his bot army
Racists and other easily influenced weak-minded individuals.

I don't think it is a good idea to block twitter completely. Some countries use twitter for official announcements, including emergency warning.
It's always a good idea to block racist platforms lorded over by a troll who will delete comments that oppose him.

You can't change the world if you don't try at all. What a braindead take..
And they wouldn't be alone if their family came with them

Supposedly they're unblocked again, but there's been no explanation from Xitter about the issue. Definitely seems suspicious that this happened while DOGE is having trouble with whistleblowers using Signal, though.

Twitter should have been regulated as a common carrier and one rich asshole shouldn’t have been allowed to buy it, regardless of their politics

No one outside the USA cares about the politics of who owns what social network
Crazy I know

Honestly I feel all news and social messenging services would be better served if they were forced to be public owned.

Lots of people still use it, obviously musk fans, people who actually make a living off of content creation it's hard to move a entire fandom to a new platform. People who aren't from the US probably don't care about the whole mess and stick around because everyone they know is still on the platform.

A lot of people unfortunately. Specially people outside the US, I think mastodon is ready for people to switch, but nobody does, the most they do is switch to bluesky
Unfortunately fedverse isn't really ready for the general population, it's why so many people flocked to bluesky over mastodon. I know I prefer blueskys UI and features over what Mastodon has to offer.
Though Tumblr is planning to enter the fedverse so maybe that'll help somehow.

Didn't Signal get big after Musk endorsed it? What gives?
Yup. I started using it in part because of his tweet

If someone is only willing to communicate with you through WhatsApp, they don't value your friendship.

It’s a slow and constant process of onboarding people to signal. I managed to onboard my local gaming group into using Signal after Trump got elected.

I am outside of the US, and I do care. Biggest army and economy and so on. Even if not, I would not want to be associated with, idk, Australian wannabe tyrants either.
