@perrymetzger @camsoft2000 @signalapp I know, I'm in the business but you're still missing the point. The Joe Bloggs user doesn't care or understand, there are so many ways you can maintain service availability when you have a view of the demand.

The demand for privacy is real. @signalapp servers are down because of traffic wanting to send secure messages and get rid of messaging service who prefer to invade your privacy. #Signal

@signalapp It’s been over 8 hours & I’m still not able to send any messages, I’ve revived a couple but I can’t send any. Signal is the only app I use & I’m completely cut off. I’ve been using this app for over 4 years & I’ve never had any of these issues before. Please fix this!

@signalapp 👍 For me: rather lack in service than Lack in privacy. At best none of it. I‘m looking forward to the fix.

@Snowden @signalapp @Facebook Is there any truth to the Q-Anon stuff about the government shutting the us down. I normally don't believe conspiracy theories but I don't believe much the government says either so were does that leave me

Also @signalapp hope you prioritize restoring service in regions where folks are relying on you for their safety. 👀 Tho to be fair that's pretty much everywhere these days. 🤷

@signalapp I’ve got a friend in St Helena that’s trying to get on the app but the verification code never come through (been trying before today’s outage) anyway to bypass it or suggestions to get it through?

@signalapp is having issues and I blame @elonmusk for ruining it for those of us who were using #SignalApp before it was cool!

@Neoryder @Snowden @signalapp You can install a more secure IME if you are aware of the issue.

Moving more and more of my chats over to @signalapp atm and it's been a relief to say the least. Today's outage is a small price to pay for privacy IMO.

@akbarjenkins @signalapp I expect it's all the twitter/parlar ect users looking for another place. The service probably just wasn't prepared for millions of new people.

@pmocek @EdB_SP @signalapp Repeating the same technical nonsense that is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand is very cool. "People can find out but since it's not server-side this isn't a problem." Weak.

@signalapp You have to expect a whatsapp's sizing. Let it scale-up and down automatically upon needs.

@perrymetzger @signalapp That is true... however it does show a major issue with the design. A single'ish point of failure.

@signalapp an outage of 8 hours and counting.... is this a ******* joke?

@signalapp It's been 8hours of no service. You might want to consider temporarily cutting off registering new users while working on servers. You're in the Red Queen's Race and we're all losing. cc @moxie

(@buddhaletina) reported
People complaining about @signalapp being offline and having, for what it seems, first tech issue in years after 40 million installs were confirmed in seven days - you ******* spoiled *****. Seriously. Do try @telegram if you're so ******* impatient or do some SMSing.

@Whitey_Hotep @NotTettsui @signalapp I think they took service down for CIA to analyze the chatter

John Griffin
(@johnwgriff) reported
I've been using @signalapp for years and never had an issue until @elonmusk tweeted about it. Apparently 40m new users in a few days. Maybe people care about privacy after all. 50 of my contacts have joined in days. Please be patient as this influx was obviously unexpected.

@signalapp A postmortem would be appreciated! Such a service stress may be quite interesting to read about.
