  • DustinFinn Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reported

    anyone having issues with @signalapp ?

  • AndrewMohawk AndrewMohawk⁽ⁿᵘˡˡ⁾ (@AndrewMohawk) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp What was the fix? Sounded like an exposed control plane gave everyone access which seems somewhat intended?

  • morganlinton Morgan (@morganlinton) reported

    @TLDInvestors @signalapp Yup, sad to see but hopefully I can help some people avoid this fate

  • Pas_de_quoi_ Aftab Goreja (@Pas_de_quoi_) reported

    @FareedZakaria @mer__edith @signalapp AI game is just beginning. It will reach Nash’s equilibrium when its exploitation will hurt not just the masses but also the corporations. It could happen because people have no money to buy stuff, or there are drastic errors in algorithms (AI is approximation). But it will.

    @JayTC53 @camhigby @signalapp Forcing criminal activity further underground is always a terrible idea. Let them feel like they are still secure once they settle into a new group chat so law enforcement can collect evidence and take cases to court. Blowing open their comms in public instead of sending them to the FBI and awaiting arrests was, in part, a mistake. Getting many more eyes on them from technically competent investigators was good. Scattering the roaches before they could be sprayed was not so good.

  • MotoMurphyADV MotoMurphyADV (@MotoMurphyADV) reported

    @signalapp seems to be down right now.

  • LindaG_RN LindaRN (@LindaG_RN) reported

    @0hour1 @DaleSulliv94781 Good! @signalapp needs to do the same or they should be shut down completely.

  • Aktiediplomaten Aktiediplomaten (@Aktiediplomaten) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp App is down rn?

  • undercovergreek Nicholas (@undercovergreek) reported

    @signalapp Customer service is lacking, I paid for a service and have not been able to get it resolved with @signalapp they have not responded to multiple attempts to contacted them. Updated logs, and have newest software but there system does not let me talk to a real person

  • easonchaiii Eason Chai (@easonchaiii) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp seems like a reoccurring issue with people getting into vibecoding

  • psymin psymin (@psymin) reported

    @signalapp is down?

  • naeemhadii NA (@naeemhadii) reported

    @signalapp Need help Unable to login

  • CarmineSabia Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) reported

    Apparently @signalapp is down.

  • wonderwomancode Angela Steffens (she/her) (@wonderwomancode) reported

    @JasonCoombsCEO @mer__edith @signalapp You and I will never see eye to eye. You can watch a video of a guy trying to help a woman shoved over by thugs dressed like law enforcement who are massively untrained for the task at hand and then being shot in the back after he was disarmed and just say well stay at home. Seriously you are the problem.

  • BostonZcash Boston Zcash 🛡️ (@BostonZcash) reported

    @mert @signalapp If you can't solve the problem of federation with as much metadata protection as Signal (this is the challenge), and have a solid plan to rapidly reach feature parity with as much vetting and audits as Signal, it's not worth it.

  • Elsalameen Fadi Elsalameen فادي السلامين ⚡️ (@Elsalameen) reported

    @signalapp you have a glitch. Your view once feature allows for a screenshot. Plz fix it.

  • HackermanJpeg hackerman.jpeg (@HackermanJpeg) reported

    Did @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

  • fulldecent William Entriken (@fulldecent) reported

    @ZainanZhou @signalapp Signal could design this product to create accounts without a phone number. It would better follow their "Privacy First" mission. But they didn't do that. And they don't publish a lengthy blog on this contradiction. This is an unforced error.

  • NullCoinerETH NullCoiner (@NullCoinerETH) reported

    .@signalapp down?

  • CavemanComfy14 Comfy Caveman (@CavemanComfy14) reported

    @YourRightPrice @0hour1 @signalapp Signal is not at fault here. They provide a service many of your allies have used in the past. You’re like the people who blame gun manufacturers for murders. Stop.

  • PiusGuru Pius (@PiusGuru) reported

    @signalapp Signal is not opening in Nigeria, even the verification code is not working

  • StatsMaxer Maximus Curious (@StatsMaxer) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp credential stuffing wins when scale exceeds patch speed. hundreds exposed in 24h means the cost to harden is now baked into real ops. signalapps free tier model inverts incentives. they won't fix until shutdown forces it.

  • push_ip Adrian (@push_ip) reported

    @cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp

  • DavidRenoNV David (@DavidRenoNV) reported

    @GuntherEagleman @US_Minitrue @signalapp needs to shut them out of the service. They’re engaged in illegal activity.

  • krles_krles Krles ✝️🇻🇦☧ (@krles_krles) reported

    If Epstein was using @signalapp and not email, none of this would be an issue.

  • taintcroix croix (@taintcroix) reported

    @signalapp appears to be down!

  • SuperTestnet Super Testnet (@SuperTestnet) reported

    @lightcoin @signalapp @sms4sats Tried it. I paid for several phone numbers and at some point decided "I don't want to keep paying for a new phone number every time I want to sign up for a service." If they really care about your privacy maybe start by not asking us to dox ourselves in the first place

  • marcmore011 marcmore (@marcmore011) reported

    @signalapp The problem with Signal is that it doesn't use any of the contacts... Unfortunately, this is impossible.

  • spicoli_75 sPiCoLI in Chapel Hill : cHrIStOPhEr (@spicoli_75) reported

    An organized insurrection is taking place on @signalapp DOJ must shut down that app. @AGPamBondi

  • Avitus2187 Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported

    @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.
