Proxy Please: Help People Connect to Signal
Several countries have recently blocked Signal, leaving their residents without a trusted and safe place to communicate.Signal Messenger
#tymczasemwRosji Roskomnadzor postanowił zablokować Signala - "z powodu naruszenia wymogów rosyjskiego prawa", rzecz jasna

So Russia blocked Signal - https://www.reuters.com/technology/signal-messenger-blocked-russia-says-roskomnadzor-ifax-2024-08-09/
"Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims,"
So thankful that Russia goes after those extremists using Signal! Russia already has enough on their hands dropping bombs on hospitals and supermarkets and invading other countries! Fuck off extremists!
By the way we ship TROMjaro with a trade-free VPN to bypass these stupidities.
Also: Signal Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Censorship circumvention (on)

> #Signal published a blog post on how we were all different and they were trying to adapt to those differences. Signal was for everyone, told the title. Ironically, that very same day, I’ve lost access to my account.
> I’ve suddenly been excluded from all the conversations with my friends because I very slightly but unacceptably deviated from the norm.
> 3yrs ago, I thought having a black and white screen on my own phone was more comfortable for my eyes.
Losing Signal

Most of my contacts won't even try it. A few humor me. 6-8 use it regularly, 2 recommend it to others.
I try not to be obnoxious about it, but it's great and people won't even bother with it.
People have to make a decision. You can only choose one.
Do you want freedom / human autonomy?
Or do you want pretend safety?
Ben Franklin quote:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Thomas Jefferson: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"

I use and like Signal and Matrix. I just don't like aggressive "marketing" like this.
This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.
However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.
Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
Given #Signal 's current infrastructure issues, I started donating $5 a month to the Signal Technology Foundation non-profit behind it through my company's donation-matching platform so they will get $120 a year from me from now on.
Please donate with me
Don't tell them to stop using WhatsApp, just to give a try to Signal. They can use both during some time, that's no problem. You have until the 8th of Februray to accept the new Whatsapp terms (tip: don't. But that gives you time).
Not that I personally have the inclination atm… 🙄
