@TheTechSpace @signalapp Yes, I know. I don't think that is the problem though. I had Signal on my previous phone 1-2 years ago but didn't bother reinstalling it because of this, & I see it's still happening.

It looks like @signalapp has been down for 24 hours now. Which could be a good thing. This is unlikely to be a load issue after so long.

@mn0sec @Krevbot @signalapp Sure I agree. It's just my retort to his tweet. He said people should not be mad at signals disruption because its a free service. So I pointed out that WhatsApp is also free and we should complain when it goes down likewise signal

@signalapp I wonder up until when you could maintain this service free of charge before offering @signalapp to a highest bidder!

@xeni @signalapp @wokyleeks Let's be clear, the distrust some people have is that the NSA chose something that they could crack using some extremely clever (but unknown) tricks. If that were true, making a few ad hoc implementation changes, essentially blind, is unlikely to help.

@ropman76 @moxie @signalapp It's just like... Come on man the entire internet was and is government funded. Every app, protocol and service you use daily sees government funding regularly. It's such a dumb, reductionist take

My one issue with @signalapp is that your identity is still ~ your phone number. Would be far cooler if you could instantiate a new one for every contact (sort of like a fresh Bitcoin address). Scanning a QR code to add people makes this not actually painful.

Dear @signalapp , As you resolve the technical issues. You might want to find a way to migrate Whatsapp blocked list to Signal :) #SignalApp #WhatsApp

@signalapp Nobody ever made a system to gain 40+ million users in a few weeks or days without having issues. See it as something positive, more people start to worry about privacy and because of that people are using WhatsApp alternatives. Such as signal. :) Take your time

@signalapp I support you completely. But please try to update the users regarding the server crash problem. It's a humble request... 🙏🙏

@milo4007 @signalapp YouThere and Telegram have better quality service, far away in terms of app quality as well as privacy because YouThere doesn’t collect mobile number either, it’s a SIM FREE / DATA FREE messenger

@forgottencmptrs @EdB_SP @signalapp No, it's not enough, because that person is being irrational. If you get "triggered" by a reminder that other people exist, you probably have a lot bigger problems. This is not a privacy or security flaw, and 100% not putting anyone in danger, as you're clearly insinuating.

@AndroidPolice My family has switched to @signalapp as extending a deadline does nothing about solving the privacy issues

22 hours later, I still cannot use Signal whether on phone or desktop. Nobody, literally NOBODY, has ever designed a system that can gain 40 million users within a matter of days and not have issues. Take ya time, we'll be here waiting @signalapp

@signalapp Are sync-problems between iMac and iPhone also because of the technical problems? Importing of contacts doesn't work and message send on iMac doesn't show up on iPhone.

Hey @signalapp there seems to be a very high cellular data consumption when you use gifs or watch videos within the app. I’d expect some activity but not this much. Seen the Github tickets but it seems the issue still persists?

@drywallsarcasm @elonmusk @signalapp You use signal to encrypt your text messages? Dude, if Tony Budding found out your real identity and threatened your job, I don't think the government would have any trouble either.

@signalapp still down? I've deleted whatsapp, regretting it a bit. Should have kept it until your sorted out your teething problems.

As iPhone user I would love to have the possibility for backup of my @signalapp chats to any cloud service. Of course encrypted and only accessible with personal passphrase. Status quo: if you lose your iPhone, you lose all chats. This is a quite poor user experience.

@signalapp @moxie After 24hrs signal app still shows technical difficulties message on app. Is it permanently pinned or any way to remove it. I already tweeted my issue but not get any reply.
