I agree
Damn I should use signal
Absolutely
Great, free publicity for Signal!
That's what I thought when I first saw this
He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
but for real, who is still using x? i thought it was just a bunch of mouth breather magas at this point.
The people who unfortunately have to get government updates from the place. After Facebook became a pain, Twitter became (for a while, when you didn't have to log in) a pretty decent way to update people on things like roadworks or weather warnings.

He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.

They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.
This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.
That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal
"Our product is banned on twitter!"
Didn't the MAGA insurrection use Signal to coordinate their efforts?
Wait wait........yes, follow dear leader to an app that keeps your history and doesn't encrypt at rest. You have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
No, they used Telegram because they're idiots and don't understand privacy.
Free speech absolution guy who promotrd Signal not that long ago, only likes free speech (and most likely only signal) for me but not for thee
So, basically, you can be 100% sure that he has the ability to read your messages on other platforms.
This is huge. But there's such an onslaught of stuff coming it doesn't get the attention needed
They are flooding the zone... The real crime is actually buried while fake news running distrations with bullshit
an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.

I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.
Welcome to America 2.0 : death to america, hello network state.
The Free Speech Absolutist everybody!
Now if more is Americans would listen and move this platform.
I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
