@SWEJWO @signalapp @polymath1959 Likely the solution lies not in trying to regulate the firm(s) but creating a more resilient system by forcing interoperability, at which point it doesn't matter if FB is down + it creates real (market) incentives to improve their service as they can no longer hold users hostage.

@signalapp Could you please address the issue requiring me to re-register every now and then, losing chat history, contacts, ... everything? iPhone SE (2016)

@signalapp Updating to ios15 and another erase / backup cycle did not fix it either. I convinced many friends of mine into using signal and not being able to communicate with them anymore through your app kinda sucks. Feel free to send me a DM if you need anything else from me.

@signalapp The fixes mentioned in your email did not help at all. I could guess (although I am not an expert by any means) that in the process of erasing my phone the number was not properly unbound in one of your databases. (2/3)

@signalapp Hi. I still can't see all my signal contacts. Specifically the new ones, do you have an idea if this is still a problem of too much people at the same time or is just me?

@Snowden @signalapp You’re not making any sense here at all. How is Signal immune to technical problems that affected Facebook? How is being non profit relevant in the same context?

@_tabula_rasa @signalapp I resent all these comments about old people needing help to use this. I'm not old and I haven't even heard of it until now

@iambamvideos @Snowden @signalapp The issues that companies are also getting hacked and in that case “single person” can have access to those messages. WhatsApp and Signal are much better since they use E2E encryption by default for all chats and groups.

I must be one of the few ppl who was totally unaffected by the @facebook outage as I deleted my FB & WA accounts over a year ago and almost never use IG anymore. I only became aware of the situation when friends started messaging me on @signalapp asking me if I knew what was up.

Edward Snowden @Snowden Facebook-owned Whatsapp being down is a reminder that you and your friends should probably be using a more private, non-profit alternative like @Signalapp anyway (or another open-source app of your choice). It's just as free, and takes like 30 seconds

@TomGemcity @signalapp You might want to remember that Signal is free, funded by donations to a not-for-profit entity. It’s by far the best and most secure text and voice service available to the public. It’s not trying to be WhatsApp, nor should it.

@morganjohn234 @Snowden @signalapp I haven't heard about nearly the amount of security breaches or trust issues with Reddit and Twitter, primarily because they don't ask for a while bunch of information like Facebook does.

@Snowden @signalapp Signal ties to your phone number and doesnt auto delete msgs. Nor can I remove msgs ftom my recipienta device. Msgs safe on transit but not if device is compromised. Wish @WickrMessenger would fix the problem woth msgs deleting before you can view them

Finally managed to ditch WhatsApp after its major outage last night - there's just too many reasons not to use it. Been hesitant to do so due to many friends and relatives still using it. Time to board everyone on to @signalapp. 🤞

6/ Millions of new people have joined @signalapp , the private, non profit version of WhatsApp . "Our messaging and calling have been up and running but some people aren't seeing all of their contacts appear on Signal. We're working hard to fix this up."- Signal

@amit07099 @signalapp Its always good to have multiple chat apps which value privacy, if one is down you can always use the other, there are options like @telegram too but unfortunately its not E2E which is just sad but telegram has its perks.

The outage of WI&F has made people realize SIGNAL & Telegram. The monopoly of facebook enterprise can blindfold. @signalapp end to end encryption is sold! Register those who care about privacy & security

Since I use @signalapp, @telegram I didn’t even know WhatsApp was down. I don’t use Facebook either so didn’t know that was down.

Using an exclusive channel for all your comms (like Messenger, WhatsApp, or any other) is error-prone. Connecting with others on multiple platforms still makes sense, so you can still get in touch during downtimes. I personally use @signalapp and can't recommend it enough.
