@marknoble @kumarsalib @signalapp You're simply wrong by definition. My phone's stock SMS app is broken even after factory reset. Using signal for those few messages I can at least avoid buying the next Big Garbage Phone.

Greetings, .@signalapp! How do we remediate around the signal app restarting when sending to share a story? The error mimics connectivity even when heavier apps can post similar or heavier loads. "check your connection and try again later" Thank you.

@marknoble @roguelogin @signalapp No one pretends SMS is secure. Having built in SMS to signal gave people a one stop app to communicate with everyone. People will not use two different apps, and keep track of which to use. Making a move to decrease user base is not smart especially for a non federated service.

@marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp Also, most of the world doesn't have ubiquitous internet access via public Wi-Fi, they get it via mobile service. A lot of toast places already use #WhatsApp though, so it doesn't really affect the ability to switch to #Signal.

@signalapp Man I want to donate but unfortunately it's a little bit hard to do it from my country. Let me check another way to do that. But thank you for your service and please keep up the good work.

@HadrianIsTaken @TerryCameronBC @signalapp Do people who have internet access but no cellular telephone service also need SMS which is a cellular only technology?

When @SignalApp's phone login provider got hacked @moxie lied to people saying "this is not a problem caused by actions" this is 100% lie because it was @moxie who decided dangerous phone number login in the first place.

@Bitwarden @ProtonMail @signalapp #Protonmail is a free secure email service. Users have their emails encrypted, so no one else can read or listen to them while they are in transit. It uses end-to-end #encryption, meaning no one, not even Protonmail, can see the contents of a message that has been encrypted.

@signalapp Desktop app is so horrible mobile app not getting much new stuff would donate if you had roadmaps to fix things like the desktop app, and you where more transparent about how you are spending the tens of millions

@signalapp I've locked myself out of my Signal profile/past while moving between Android phones. My PIN has been rejected on both phones. Is there any way I can get support please? Online help instructions for this rely on commands that aren't on my UI. Thanks!

@marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp I understand what you mean but the problem is that everyone still need a SMS client. So for digital minimalist they like Signal because it can also be their default sms app so they can delete the dump default one. The problem is, this move is non-needed and username is......

It may be acceptable for a mass market messaging app like @telegram to have phone numbers as a default login however for if an app like @signalapp DEMANDS everyone to enter their phone number then it should be thrown into trash for it.

This phone number requirement as well as DELIBERATELY low popularity of @SignalApp are not all of the problems of this app.

@marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp It's only the right thing to do if you incorrectly assume that your service is so valuable and unique that you can force *everyone* to change their behavior by removing some of your service offerings. News flash: this has never worked.

Is @signalapp becoming unusable for anyone else? I keep getting asked to verify captchas. I’m using a VPN which I assume is the problem.

@ifudontlike2bad @darafaye @signalapp The guy who created and runs Signal turned down about a million dollars worth in stock options when he left Twitter. The WhatsApp guy has given the Signal people a generous amount of money. They have their flaws, but they're not really in it for the money. Just my 2¢ as a nerd.
