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?

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

        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?

      It’s also a lot harder today.

      Earlier:

      a/s/l?

      16/f/NYC

      Now:

      a/s/l?

      Pardon me?

      a/g/l?
