  2. Signal Group: Codec Chaos Magick

    Everything about encoding video, audio and images with modern technology, free and open source software and modern standards to get good quality with low storage space!

    Say good bye to #mp3, #h264 or #jpg, they are obsolete!

  3. #SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

    Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

  4. One of my 2026 #grassroots #ConnectingPeopleWithPeople #offline projects is to initiate a #FediFriends / #MastoMateys #Snailmail #Penpals network. I'm going to be creating a #SignalGroup next week for this slow mail connections project.

    If you're interested in joining & participating in my snailmail connection project, leave a note here or DM me. I'll add people interested to the Signal Group chat ☺️✌️💗

    I am admin of about 20 public #SignalGroup.s , here is how we do it:

    - we use the "nickname" and "note" feature to mark people as spam, write down bad behavior etc.

    - we have public links, all require admin permission to join

    - we have a separate "Introduction Room" group where we add everyone requesting to join. They need to follow steps in the group description, have a profile pic and name that imply they are "kinda human" and introduce themselves in a human way. This works surprisingly well and we have no spammers since then

    - we also collect the IDs of malicious users following these steps (github.com/Whatnoww/ACI-Blockl), which is currently very tedious but the only persistent identifier afaik. That ID is then used by SignalAssistant which warns about malicious users requesting to join a group

    - we keep track of behavior indicating that users are human in the user notes

    - to protect against higher effort scrapers (that employ humans or sophisticated bots that bypass our checks, and then are inactive and just scan all messages), we make a post, tagging all users and requiring some form of response (which serves as a captcha in its own, like "green non-edible emoji")

    - alternatively, deleting a group, making a new one and telling everyone to migrate is an effective way to remove inactive ones or bots. But as following links is likely well implemented in bots, this would require manual re-checking

    The amount of tech-illiteracy varies a lot (or we get users new to Signal) which means we need to make excuses quite often.

    Also, Signal has a lot of features helping here, but also lacks some UX polish:

    - seeing and sharing user IDs with people to have a blocklist that actually does something

    - and/or sharing user notes and nicknames with other people

    - pinning messages (no need to tag all users or write sensitive stuff in the group description readable for others)

    - a setting to allow users to only see admins in a group and nobody else (privacy of everyone else in the "Introduction Room")

    - separate Admin and Moderator rights. This is huge, as maintenance requires lots of admins, but the current system makes takeovers easy

  6. The introduction of usernames and the ability to hide your phone numbers from people and still communicate with them results in a new nice grow of groups on Signal Messenger.

    Don't be the last and join our Signal group for updates. More to come. Stay tuned!
