🥷pirate🦜smith🏴☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported@callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal
-
Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported@signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.

sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso / Global Cyber Security (@CisoDiagonal) reported@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.

papi@bigpapi55. (@VenomC11612) reported@signalapp @signalapp I tried creating account but it always failing pls I need a fix on that
-
Nick Cairns (@simpin4pepe) reported@signalapp This is literally as old as dial up. I may or may not have done it way back when AOL was a pay per hour service. Send out 3000 messages all at once and have chat log turned on. Account would get nuked in 5 min, go to the log and there would be five more accounts.
-
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

CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported@DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.
-
Ambler (@AmblerKR) reported@signalapp @bluesky @joinmastodon Also, login should be possible without a phone number. Users should be able to sign in with either an email address or their handle.
-
Mohammad Belayet Sarder 🇧🇩🇵🇸 (@MBelayetSarder) reported@signalapp Having issues to reregister on #iPhone. Always shows 'something-went-wrong.-try - after - sometime" message. :(
-
Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported@Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.
-
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.

hackerman.jpeg (@HackermanJpeg) reportedDid @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

fabian (@fabianleitner) reported@signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

Blueeyes (@Bakerfour) reported@signalapp it looks like you have a major issue with communist group committing felony crimes. Is this something you want for your company? I hope you are not apart of this horrible group.
-
Dark Lord Pika (@cryptoguideen) reported@JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.
-
LianZaKim @Kim (@liankimpi) reported@signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login
-
Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported@signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.

marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
-

Craig D. Mansfield, PhD, EI 👨🔬🥼🥽⚗️🧪🔬☣️☢️🧮 (@craigbob99) reported@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.
