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

You might try a Matrix group instead. Doesn’t require a phone number and supports more than 1000 users unlike Signal. Search is bad though unfortunately.

Some suggest matrix, others simplex. Not sure which one would be better honestly

Why not use SimpleX Chat? If you use Matrix for that you will likely get reported and get banned

Go ahead and create the group then make a post. Nobody's holding you back my friend.

Signal no longer require a phone number.

It still requires a phone number to sign up, but you don't need to share it to chat with someone

Oh good to know, I was mistaken then..
