@BacilDonovan @signalapp I’ve never - not once - been interrupted while doing emergency engineering work by customer complaints that things are broken. Such a ridiculous management situation would be far worse than engineers determining to update the status page slightly slower than random Twits prefer.

@tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Yeah, I'm interested to learn about Session, and I'm all for kicking the bad guys when they're down. But... Signal and their team are not the bad guys, the exact opposite.

@BacilDonovan @signalapp Typically, unless you are providing some *mission critical* service, expending engineering resources on automating the internal alert to status page update pipeline (and more broadly, ensuring it stays accurate and meaningful) is probably not the best use of effort.

@tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Some people depend on messaging apps being available. Session isn't just a competitor; it is a new type of technology that is not vulnerable to a central server going down. I am going to check Session out, and hope Signal becomes decentralized too.

Session
(@session_app) reported
@stunt_nuts @signalapp Some people depend on their private messaging app not having a central point of weakness that can cause it to go down.

@disinthrallment @signalapp To be fair, Signal is hardly the only org that has this issue … heck, Apple is among the worst, with their status page sometimes being dead wrong for 8+ hours, then being back-dated only after the fact. I do try to call others out on that issue, too.

@session_app @signalapp really poor taste to use their outage to promote your competing service. practice #hugops

@signalapp No spends a penny for Signal's growth (s free service with high security, no ads), but complains a lot in an outage. Just be patient and do what is required to do in your offline hurs.

@signalapp so you guys gonna fix the app or...?
-
Disinthrallment
(@disinthrallment) reported
@BacilDonovan @signalapp Sure, except because it’s software, someone, somewhere is *always* experiencing a problem. And the bigger concern is you rely on automation to do it, and the automation itself is also broken… and now you go from a reasonable delay to maybe no status update at all.

Apparently @signalapp is down.
-
Disinthrallment
(@disinthrallment) reported
@BacilDonovan @signalapp A great deal of the determination of *what* is in order to find out *how severe* a problem is. It is no use notifying “there’s a problem” on every little blip, or on internal issues that don’t directly impact users. Plus you don’t pay for it, so you should cut them some slack.

@signalapp Just wondering if there's any ETA on resuming service! Don't panic too much, things go wrong sometimes.

@signalapp No-one spends a penny for open source Signal's growth (free service with high security, no ads), but complains a lot in an outage. Just be patient for a short-while and go back to what is required to do in your offline hours.

.@signalapp Do you have an ETA on when service will be restored?

(@BacilDonovan) reported
@disinthrallment @signalapp False alarms that might appear on the page are unlikely to cause issues, since customers aren't looking at it if they're not actually experience problems.

@BacilDonovan @signalapp The customer can call the engineers directly? Yeah, no. I wouldn’t work in a place like that. That’s literally insane. Customer service departments exist for a reason.

@BacilDonovan @signalapp I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out what you believe is a communication issue. I think your definition of communication issue here is what is not really reasonable, in my opinion. We differ on what is reasonable communication of issues for a messaging application.

Why doesn't SMS via @signalapp work when their servers are down? Shouldn't it work as long as the stock SMS app does? 🤔

@signalapp Can you specify where exactly? It would help users.

Bacil Donovan Warren
(@BacilDonovan) reported
@disinthrallment @signalapp That, in fact, saves a lot of time and headache—early detection and *early notice* means fewer people sending in reports to people already busy trying to figure out and fix whatever went wrong.

(@BacilDonovan) reported
@disinthrallment @signalapp I do donate, so it isn't like I haven't been trying to do what I can in my small way to help. I also don't think it's unreasonable to point out that there is a communication issue, and that they could do a better job.
