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?

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.
