@yuroGuro @yashalevine @signalapp I understand assuming that state intelligence capabilities are pervasive & all powerful. But digital security is an engineering problem for both software & hardware. It's not impossible, or easy. At the end of the day if you're really a threat it's cheaper & easier to poison you.

@jamesd3rd @wiredfire @signalapp And also the path with your fingers is off. Pressing the plus button in the middle than searching down for gif and then climbing all the way to the top for searching a gif and hoping it will eventually show them.agreed. not a deal breaker simply bad UX.

@signalapp For everyone complaining, you have 2 options: donate to help the excellent work @signalapp is doing and be patient or ******* shut up... Your stupid comments just show your ignorance about the technology.

Hey @signalapp I don't see any of my contacts in the desktop app, and it shows an error when trying to import 'em manually, something like "contacts could not be imported, check your phone is connected to the internet". What happens?

@FactsRhony @InstaKnighttt There is not an iota of malice or anger in my tweet to @signalapp and I was coming from a good place telling that I believe that they will come out of this high volume problems successfully... I am not sure why you starting venting out on me.... but its cool

@LemurZA @MohsenIrani12 @signalapp True — I remember it going down for half a day in early days. Went down for few hours when FB took over.

@yashalevine @signalapp FYI you can send screenshots, copy text, send it anywhere, do whatever you want on a properly compromised device. Encryption won’t help you with that because the vulnerability used would give the attacker access to decrypted content

@signalapp Please update us on the current status. Some of my friends are receiving messages, and it's been more than 24 hours since the servers went down.

@signalapp Guys. The outage is understandable. But the lack of communication is unacceptable. What’s going on? How much longer? What happened? What’s your plan?

@signalapp Elon should have helped them to upgrade servers prior to his tweet. I have used this app for years and love it. Mine has now been down for 24 hours. He should have known what an impact his tweet would have on the app infrastructure. Kinda a jerk move really.

As much as I love @signalapp for IM, I also love that @element_hq runs a @matrixdotorg server for me. No hassle, no availability problems, still strong end-to-end encryption. Might be an option for communities that don't want to share phone numbers. #matrix #privacy

@milo4007 @signalapp How do you think the bigger players got big? Remember when Twitter went down so much it was the butt of every joke?

@signalapp Ahoy! I have someone (say Mr. T) in my contacts that's having trouble with the app. A number of people in our group chat are seeing "Bad encrypted message" periodically coming from T, meanwhile the rest of us are successfully chatting on the app. Any idea what's up?
