    @brian_armstrong @signalapp Quit tweeting Brian nobody gives a ****! What they do give a shot about is not getting their money stolen from hackers and people working for your company. Fix your company you’re ruining lives and don’t give a ****!

    @GinPerigee @Grifter801 @signalapp Do you know Signal's service has been completely blocked off in mainland China? For at least half a year now. What keyboard extension do you think will solve this? Also, maybe report on the issue tracker instead of Twitter if wanting to be taken seriously.

    @timglitch @signalapp @moxie You can either be a Signal Sustainer or a Signal Booster. Go to Signal then Setting, way down the bottom it says Signal Boost, there you can specified any amount you would like to contribute with. You get a badge too, different one thought.

    @BobMcElrath @signalapp @matrixdotorg Been using Element for comms at my company. Works well as a Slack alternative but not really as a signal alternative. I have tried Wire but it has the same problems as Signal. I have yet to try Threema.

    @mfeferman @signalapp I have a lot of trouble listening to the audio messages. It won't let you fast forward or start part way through. If I move, it often restarts. Just getting the messages to play is a hassle, I'm pressing "play message" and it's not responding sometimes. The buttons are also TINY

    @brian_armstrong @signalapp How about helping the thousands of people who’s money was stolen by hackers or who knows maybe people working for you stealing it internally. No customer support it’s complete **** and when you’re locked out and the hackers r stealing everything there’s no help

    @signalapp @RCantw3ll I have problems with the app, I can't receive or send messages, my screen gets black when I click the app (Android OS in Moto E5 play). I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it's the same. Thanks for your support!

    @Donewithfiat @signalapp Monero takes too long, is slightly less secure, didn’t have recoverable keys, didn’t want to help them, and actually have funded a competitor. Would you help a team that funded a competitor?

    @signalapp Hi, I can't open the app on my iphone since a few days ago. Touch ID doesn't work, and it doesn't change to the password screen either. How can I solve the problem?

    @signalapp Hi there. Huge fan for years, also donor. Anyway, there's a specific problem, maybe you can help. When I send voice messages from my android to iOS users, they can only listen to it in 1,5 or 2x speed. They can't change it. No problem if sent from Windows. Any ideas?

  • Evalic1ous
    Eva (@Evalic1ous) reported

    @eric_capuano @signalapp Isn't Signal an absolute pain to setup? You'd need to keep everyones private phone number up to date and defend against social engineering. Something that can be centrally managed and locked down like Threema Work or Wire feels like a much better choice.

    @signalapp The mobile terminal login cannot receive the verification code, and the VPN has been opened. What's the matter
