Can I share my Signal username publicly? (programming.dev)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'd put it on my website, which contains my real name anyway, but Signal says that I should only share it with people I trust. Also, the link (signal.me/...) contains long base64 string with unknown content. What do you think?

Art of Reverse Scraping. Now the previous commenter will get at least a couple known good Signal handles to spam for a little.

a/s/l?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

My youngest sister doesn't know what that means. I think it might be one of those lines of demarcation between millennial and Z.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i agree... do all millennials know tho?

I don't even remember when that nomenclature drop off, i just remember getting online as kid and boy ohh boy... was it a time and place in history haha

From my memory, the timing seemed to align with Facebook. Moving from anonymous chatrooms to proper Social Media with a/s/l information and more already populated.

Even worse though, she doesn't know any of the early memes. Hampster Dance, Badger Badger Badger, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Leeeeroy Jenkins. Salad Fingers. How does a young, gothic lass get through her teen years without Salad Fingers?

OG markers are lemonparty.com and two girls, one cup tho hehe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I was too young for 2 girls 1 cup back in the day and fortunately had the good sense not to watch it. I think I will forever be too young for that one.

It's also a lot harder today.

Earlier:

Now:

Pardon me?

a/g/l?

400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣

Probably just two or three ultra-nerds.
