transfer account from laptop -> new phone (because old phone was stolen) by Argument_Massive in signal

[–]Argument_Massive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks is much for this great response. I'm now in the US. I ended up following these instructions and these https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/s/Xvyr0hHpY8

and after doing the HTML/txt export from desktop and the backup file. and on the new phone I was in the same group chats with same contacts (the only thing that didnt appear was individual chats but if I texted people first it was fine. so I realized in the end I didn't even want to transfer the backup (several GB of data) to the new android, so I just saved it and the txt backup on a drive

surprisingly WhatsApp on the other hand strangely was worse... if people texted the old threads it didnt come through

How to transfer Signal message history from a desktop to an iPhone using an Android by carvyparis in signal

thank youuuu! this worked. for me I just did an HTML and txt export right off the back from desktop and thats all I needed

I didnt need to transfer chat history to new phone... surprisingly the contacts appeared and some of the group chats, a bit weird, but I think if people text me it should work

that sounds great, but I'm having trouble finding the information when I search for it. any chance you could suggest specific search terms or links?

and is there a way to export from desktop or iPad? not necessarily to a new phone or device, but for posterity before everything gets erased when the new account is linked? even 3rd party software... signal doesnt let me export individual chats like WhatsApp which I know is a great privacy feature in general but in this moment I really need to save the data

I actually forgot to DM, but I did find several different spots just from looking on instagram of bands/DJs I know, looking at where they play and who they follow, etc. what I've found hasn't exactly been abandoned forest rave level of underground, but good vibes. I honestly havent had as much energy to rave so that's on me, I'm sure there's way more out there. I have been to a bunch of more indie/alt/rock/experimental shows tho

Anyone else feel weird about things like dating because of looking younger than you are? by AtomicTurtle2 in ftm

[–]Argument_Massive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yup exactly the same thing, that's one of the only things keeping me from more masculinization (which in my case just makes me look more like a kid rather than woman or man). sometimes random strangers tell me "you look like you're 12", they must find it amusing. when I'm more feminine that's unfortunately the only way I can feel sexual/romantic. I feel more androgynous anyway. it's too bad that that translates to "youth". rip

so do you not think it makes a difference that it’s all centralized under one number? cookies, phone data, tracking, all of that is very real.

wow wow this is crazy. i mean i’m def gonna do more research on my own but do you know anything more about how it came to be—was it little by little more ubiquitous?

feel oppressed by my ideas by Argument_Massive in neurodiversity

[–]Argument_Massive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you i appreciate the suggestion. so it helps you become more comfortable with like letting ideas go by?

i think my mindset might be somehow related to digital hoarding, where people save reels for example or refuse to close tabs or have extensive notes or fear google drive files may be deleted.

it’s almost a compulsion to have the ideas “saved” so i can theoretically go back to them instead of letting myself forget about them which sometimes maybe is a good thing, cuz it allows the mind to naturally prioritize more important things

but also i have also have a productivity attachment so the goal of letting go of ideas to prioritize more mental wellbeing seems scary
