@Snowden @signalapp You’ll have to rely on Twitter!!! These Facebook software engineers are resetting the servers and are sent to the company U.S data center to fix the problem!!!!

@Snowden @signalapp Does Signal depend on any servers that could melt down too? No service is immune from going down. Sometimes my own server goes down when the systemd logs eat up all free space. Also, under what pretenses did Twitter give you a check when those not wanted by courts get none?

@808constituent @signalapp I've always found it odd that anyone would use WhatsApp- a supposed encrypted messaging service that is owned by *Facebook* when they could he using Signal

Now that #WhatsApp is down, might I suggest switching to @signalapp, which I find to be a far superior service, and, as a cheerful bonus, is not run by Machiavellian androids seemingly intent on destroying democracy, humanity and the planet we live on. #whatsappdownswitchtoSIGNAL

@hermandeperman @Snowden @signalapp Millions of ppl use signal since years, many just don't care about privacy and stick to WhatsApp crap because of convenience, that's the problem. The network effect and comfort with using what everyone else does is leading to catastrophic events from time to time. Rocket + matrix

¿Tu WhatsApp no funciona? ¡Puedes probar @signalapp , que es gratis, más seguro y no forma parte de Facebook! is your WhatsApp not working! you can try signal which is free, more secure, and not part of Facebook!

@danfriedmanme @Facebook @signalapp People use whatsapp because it’s free. Otherwise they could pay for messaging. I find this hand wringing ridiculous. It’s a free service and therefore it doesn’t owe anyone anything.

Just an FYI to all our homies who use FB/insta messenger: @signalapp is a great alternative and is the most secure, privacy-centered texting app and works like texting. Great for when the non-secure, profit-driven internet platforms go down

Now that Facebook and Messenger is down, consider switching to a private and more secure alternative: @signalapp In Signal, privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that it works. Every message, every call, every time. #eff #facebookdown

Real question in light of the Facebook outage: was there ever a good reason to use WhatsApp instead of @signalapp?

@Snowden @signalapp Signal will never be down? What kinda logic is that, or you know why Facebook is down in a way that another online service could not be?

@LunaSafwan @HassanChamoun I messaged my mom on signal and iMessages a few ago telling her it’s an outage not internet issue. Coz being “me”, I have everything installed and secured on their iPads and phones. But everyone should move to signal at least for now. And hopefully get used to it @signalapp
