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?

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.

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

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.
