@LauraLoomer Abuse of power gone public. Next time lock @signalapp with each login that way no mistakes are made. 81 with a cell phone. Dangerous

Should the EU's chat control become law, then I hope that @signalapp will not comply with that law for as long as possible. I tried to send PGP encrypted messages to myself (with the help of a PGP tool). It does work but it's so awfully tiresome/exhausting.

@signalapp @signalapp Signal has terrible tech support. I've been trying to get help on a simple issue for over a month. Nothing. Repeated emails -- nothing. I was a big supporter. Not anymore.

@gnukeith Yeah, it's also almost impossible to get support from @signalapp . I've been waiting over a month for a seemingly simple issue. A couple unhelpful robo responses that made it obvious no one had actually read my very detailed bug report.

@signalapp Can you guyz just make reliable cross-device sync? Its not that hard to fix that

@Matt_Bracken48 @signalapp's encryption is mathematically provably secure, though. It's the endpoint security and externally paired devices (like signal desktop) that's always the issue, because you'll never not generate metadata whether you're on a VPN that actually is private or not.

Mobile coverage in rural Oxfordshire remains dire @Ofcom even with WiFi calling (which requires an expensive fixed broadband service). Got a call tonight / the quality was so dire we asked them to call us via the @signalapp & hey presto clear call quality. #RipOffMobileUK

@uwukko @horsemankukka @signalapp how does domain fronting help when for something like meta they can just block the entire AS

@signalapp Could I PLEASE get some support on transferring to a new phone. I have followed all the steps you have emailed me (three times). I have sent a detailed problem description with error log. You robo-respond telling me to try the things I've tried many times. It's been almost a month now. C'mon folks. Help me out here.

@synthshareai @signalapp Since AIM shut down in 2017, there's no direct migration to Signal. If you have an old exported buddy list (e.g., CSV), manually add contacts via phone numbers or invites in the Signal app. Otherwise, reconnect individually—dial-up era to encrypted messaging!

@signalapp Hey @signalapp when are you going to respond to my tech support request? Can't transfer the account from my old phone to my new one. Been trying to get help for two weeks now...

@JumboWin1 Very true. But its not about "why use"; ofcourse there are MUCH better alternatives like @signalapp or even better @SimpleXChat etc. WhatsApp has billions of active users and this post is about how they can atleast somewhat protect some privacy while in a Meta service.

@uwukko @signalapp maybe the circumvention setting gives you a proxy automatically? but it's not available without login so the servers can't be burned with so little effort??

@dharmeshba @signalapp Asked the same to a Meta expert, he said if this brand-spam trend continues, WhatsApp could face the same fate as SMS. In the US, brand messaging approvals are already shut down, and India is expected to follow with tighter regulations soon.

@auzghosty @kasiamessaging @signalapp Yes, the real issue is that ppl deserve the right to choose — not to be left with no options. We need privacy, governments want control, so let us choose: use privacy, or minimize/avoid apps that might compromise it.

@Arattai Curious - Why not go @signalapp route and let data be stored on consumer devices? Takes away the issue of data warehousing and privacy concerns. Also helps concerns that Govt might be accessing it (even though they might not be)
