Can I share my Signal username publicly?
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?
Yeah it automatically obfuscates. Mine is *******, for example.
Really?
hunter12
Hey, it doesn't look obfuscated to me?
That's because it's your username. To you it shows normal, all I see is hunter12. See?
God I miss bash.org
This is what I came for.
To me it does, maybe your phone has automatic encryption. Maybe send.your passwords so we can see if its decrypting automatically or not /s
All my usernames & passwords are hunter12 and I don't mind sharing them everywhere because my smartphone always automatically turns it into asterisks because someone on 4chan told me so.

You can share your signal username. Mine is donnietello.01
Once you've shared it, if you're getting a lot of spam you can just change it and it won't change anything about your current conversations. It's essentially just an invite link.

400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣
Probably just two or three ultra-nerds.
If you change it, do you have to tell all your trusted contacts what you changed it to?
Nope. Its not used for continued conversations. Just for starting them. If you change your username, your contacts will not see any difference.
