@signalapp is the app down or something, things were fine for days now me messages take forever to go through, but even when they become two circles with a checkmark they never fill anymore and I get no responses???
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported 5 minutes ago
@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported 11 minutes ago
@KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.

@signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.

@signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it

@manasiwibi @signalapp Yes. It's still a problem. Hallo? Can you fix it signal?

Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.
Tom🌶\(^-^)/🌶 infosec.exchange/@tomlawrence (@TomLawrenceTech) reported 23 minutes ago
@NetworkChuck @WhatsApp If you want to stay as secure as possible, you don't use WhatsApp. @signalapp is a far better alternative and is not run by a company with a terrible track record violating privacy laws and spying on people.

@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Please help. @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

@signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 34 minutes ago
Signal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!

@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?

@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.
Candy Corn (@thecandycancan1) reported 38 minutes ago
@signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.
Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 39 minutes ago
@Gold_Phishy @signalapp Unfortunately registration lock is not on by default. Probably because people have a hard time remembering their PIN, and Signal doesn't want you writing it down
Lachie 888 🌴 (@Lachlan_Mc) reported 40 minutes ago
@botzero_net @theonejvo @signalapp LOLZ. did they think to ask the thing if it was secure and how much trouble they were in? (no)
🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported 41 minutes ago
@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.

@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.
Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported 46 minutes ago
@signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash
Anne Marte Odland (@AnneMaOdland) reported 47 minutes ago
@meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?
Dark Lord Pika (@cryptoguideen) reported 47 minutes ago
@JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.

@signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?

@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.
