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

Way bigger. You could have many thousands.

What the fuck? I've never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos...

Or are those "just" distribution channels aka admin only posts?

Thoose given are distrubution channels, but there are group chats like t.me/durovschat which is 12k members. I forgot the limits which i think is 200k for chatroom and infinite(?) for distrubution channels

Edit: yeah its 200k and infinite in "broadcast groups"

Definitely just "distribution"

Sounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they'll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.

Toots?...

[-] montar@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Mastodon i guess.

Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it's Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person's point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn't be great there, since it's not a private group of just the interested parties.
