I don't want to deal with this entire bloody ecosystem of broken code. But I guess I have to, because @signalapp have carefully built their desktop application atop a steaming pile of non-portable ****.

So if you regularly use @signalapp on iOS, you might have encountered this issue where your phone's screen will completely freeze when you answer a call. I have been facing this issue for two months now. At first I thought it was only with my phone but its actually quite common.

@moxie @signalapp Where decentralization starts to break when it comes down to actually using the chains for anything beyond sending tokens between wallets.

@michaelcaster @signalapp I had an issue trying to set it up due to blockages last November time? Something like that. So might have been going on for a while longer than you’re currently aware of

@signalapp We do. But it doesn't feel like you prioritize most basic features enough i.e, audio calls, video calls, group calls. Incoming call notifications are broken! I don't know why I am sticking with this app despite continuous tons of issues!

@signalapp I have heard friends complain about notifications not working on iOS and it never happened to me but now it started happening. I tried all the suggestions you have and still doesn’t work. It’s random, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. What can I do?

@ProchazkaFilip @signalapp @Tailscale That is not to say that good self-hosted services don’t exist, but its still a bit hit-or-miss. Plus the options to move your data from one provider to another are always terrible because everybody knows that having good migration experience would make it easier for you to leave.

@michaelcaster @GreatFireChina @signalapp Cracking down on secure messager apps is a bit of a whack-a-mole, game isn‘t it? How about Threema, which doesn‘t use a phone number for identification at all?

@michaelcaster Maybe such censorship will help @signalapp to realize the registration without phone number. This is the only way to help people in affected countries.

@orangedmike @signalapp is a great messenger service if you wish to use a single application for both E2EE & SMS messages. If you aren't interested in combining SMS then you can avoid submitting your phone number altogether by using @session_app instead 😎

@threatresearch @signalapp Timing? Network latency? I have a similar issue with the same sort of MFA setup in an on-Prem application. If the timer is more than halfway done, I have to wait for the next code.

1/4 🚨🚨 I'm hearing early reports that #China has further escalated its crackdown on @signalapp. This is terrible for civil society who have been able to use Signal for secure communication. #Encryption
