Can I share my Signal username publicly? (programming.dev)

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?

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?

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
