On X, only the "Signal.me" links are blocked. Other types of Signal links, such as call links, group invite links, Signal.org links, and link previews, are not blocked on the platform. [From Mistral]
what does „from mistral“ mean in your comment?

Makes sense. What other platforms do you know where we can get access to the network of entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, governments, and authors? I am considering text-based social apps only.
> entrepreneurs Dunno, no interest. > thought-leaders I've never been quite sure what people mean when they say this. > governments An increasing number of governments, government agencies and politicians have presence on Bluesky or Mastodon or both. The EC has its _own mastodon instance_ (though, confusingly, some EC agencies are on other instances, or are just on bluesky). > authors Mostly Bluesky, also Threads to…
BTW if I may clarify, by thought leader, I mean people who are leaders or popular figures in a particular industry, whose voices matter and shapes up that domain.
Think of Sam Altman for AI, Marc Andreessen for VC, Andrew Huberman for Mental Health, and figures like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Naval Ravikant, etc.
The US is playing with fire. Most of Wall Street's valuation is at stake.

Not sure where you got that from, of course it is possible. But we are all gatekeepers of our own minds. You seem to be ignoring my responses and trying to lead me further into extreme examples to trap me. Carry on if…
If an extreme example could trap you there would be limit to free speech, so there can’t be trap, just proof. You overestimate the power of your mind. Constant attacks breaks everybody and don’t forget the mind of children and young people is even weaker. But it doesn’t matter because free speech over all? Back to extreme examples, what about Charles Manson? He didn’t kill anybody, was his imprisonment wrong?
> You overestimate the power of your mind
No I dont. I am fully aware of mine and everybody elses weakness and bias.
> But it doesn’t matter because free speech over all?
Exactly!
I think you are overestimating your opinion, you come across as if you know everything thats right and wrong and everybody should have the same opinion as you.
Luckily for myself and free speech, opinions are subjective. Here you are trying your hardest to offend me and back me into a corner about what I think. Yet my overarching opinion is that you are free to say anything you like about me. I have no issue with your opinions, and if you didnt have issue with mine this would be a much nicer world to live in.
Try tolerence of other peoples opinions sometime, even if you dont agree with them. Its actually quite refreshing and liberating.
Particularly ironic given that DOGE is reported to be using Signal as its comms platform. [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579873

> The people involved probably should not be using Twitter/X for this sort of thing in the first place. Usernames don't necessarily link someone with their real identity, and phone numbers can be hidden. This isn't the weirdest apology I've ever heard for the behavior of Elon Musk and X's censorship policies, but it's definitely in the top 5.
Phone numbers and usernames are sent in the clear in signal.me links. So in this particular case, they can't be hidden. Perhaps it is not a good idea to post such links on a hostile system.

Seems reductive.
But in the absence of credible information to the contrary, it's not wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha... when a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view
It's an elegant idea in it's simplicity, but there's zero reason to think this heuristic is more valid than any other, and in my personal experience this line of thinking is usually wrong.

That's interesting, given that as an official government department they're subject to FOIA requests and as such have an obligation to persist their documentation.
