Signal: Settings -> Privacy -> Advanced -> Censorship Circumvention
Signal is a social media platform?
Depends on how you want to look at it. They have “stories” which could most certainly be considered that.
signal has stories now, so I’d say yes
Bah, more reason to avoid Signal. For private communications I want an antisocial network, not the opposite.
You can remove ot from your view and then you forget it is even a thing
It’s completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes. If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that “feature”, I’d say it’s worth it.
I think it’s a silly feature for a messaging app, but it has no impact on me if I ignore the feature.
eh, just dont use it. beats a lot of other alternatives at the moment
It’s in the “to be blocked” list posted.
I guess that centralized server thing is working out real well then. /s
Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.
