  • DiaspCZ Clon (@DiaspCZ) reported

  • iamritz93 Ritz (@iamritz93) reported

    @signalapp please reply, why messages are not getting transferred? Why is the server down ? #SignalDown

  • cimballi_ Cimballi (@cimballi_) reported

    @signalapp On Win desktop app, is there a way to write a multi line message ? I tried Ctrl + Enter but it seems it's not working. Thanks !

  • __h2__ Hannеs Hauswеdеll 🕊 (@__h2__) reported

    @L_etter @HerraBRE @signalapp There are good chat solutions that come with dedicated (i.e. SIM and device independent) identifiers : Jabber, Matrix The entire point of the WhatsApp/Signal type of service seems to be that it is tied to your phone number, so I am not sure why/how that should be changed.

  • __h2__ Hannеs Hauswеdеll 🕊 (@__h2__) reported

    @L_etter @HerraBRE @signalapp The big advantage of Signal is that there is (almost) no profile data and in particular no contact list being stored at the service provider. So while better multi-device support is clearly possible, becoming independent of the phone number kinda defeats the purpose.

  • EDefore d4mation (@EDefore) reported

    @signalapp @twilio > SMS Verification Well, there's your first problem

  • Jimi81453527 Jimi (@Jimi81453527) reported

    @signalapp Render process is gone Error: Reason: crashed, Exit Code: -36861 at App.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]\app\global_errors.js:75:43) at App.emit (node:events:538:35) at EventEmitter.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:161:12109) @ EventEmitter.emit (node:events:526:28)

  • DelibrtlyObtuse No War But Class War (@DelibrtlyObtuse) reported

    @Karstan @signalapp ****. Can you export them as a csv or something and upload them to a different app/service?

  • wojtageek W(ojtag)EEK (@wojtageek) reported

    @tcely @signalapp (2/2) Don’t know if everything works now okay, but I can’t afford convincing all my friends to switch and then keep struggling with it not working properly.

  • KonaraSampath Sampath Konara (@KonaraSampath) reported

    @chamath @signalapp Dear sir Please help me

  • gary2271uk gary227 (@gary2271uk) reported

    @signalapp(2of 3) i ask that because i can live with the number being exposed as that cant id me but if theres any name profile information even usually public data exposed/tied to my new number then god help me cause im back to where i started changing 300+ accounts again

  • _iam_no1 Kairos Babe | Toph Beifong 🌏 | Fragrance Vendor (@_iam_no1) reported

    @signalapp fix the responsiveness of your app please.

  • DevashishBhard3 Raghav Bhardwaj (@DevashishBhard3) reported

    @hackinarticles Recently I think some service provider for @signalapp was victim of phising attack which breached there database. So might want to be careful.

  • GoBrrr_me Go₿rrr.me (@GoBrrr_me) reported

    @Bill_Colgates @signalapp @twilio Not yet. Doxxing user IPs is a serious problem.

  • HerraBRE BjarniBjarniBjarni (@HerraBRE) reported

    @L_etter @signalapp My point is mostly that the tech is already there - we can do this by hand. This proves the number migration pain is largely a UI problem, not a hard technical limitation.

  • farukozderim Ömer Faruk Özdemir (@farukozderim) reported

    This is a huge security problem and telegram should put extra login barriers to overcome this. Either 1. Give permission from the other devices to login 2. Or need a password to login to the account just like @signalapp Reported this vulnerability a week ago to telegram,

  • twd_sylvia Sylvia ❤️TWD/JDM (@twd_sylvia) reported

    @signalapp @twilio I’ve an problem to send messages to another person who is living in US are there any problems today @signalapp .

  • hodgesmr Matt Hodges (@hodgesmr) reported

    @jsrailton @signalapp But unlike e2ee, a proxy just moves the problem, right? If I'm worried about my ISP, why am I not worried about the AWS instance Signal spun up to proxy?

  • SlimothyTV SlimothyTV (@SlimothyTV) reported

    Signal (because they REFUSE to allow you to sign up with a username and FORCE a phone number) now has a big issue on their hands. The Twilio hack exposed almost 2,000 @signalapp users numbers. People have been begging Signal to remove the phone # requirement for years.SHAME👎🏻

  • CantoStellio Stellio Canto (@CantoStellio) reported

    @signalapp @twilio Now this is where the GOP should be jumping up and down blaming the Fed, right?

  • TheFreakyGoof The Goof (@TheFreakyGoof) reported

    @signalapp @twilio Whenever I see “ recently “ instead of a hard date i see obfuscation and cover up to avoid liability due to withholding this information. Please give us all the details or lose credibility of your service

  • oscaruglyface uglyface 🏴 (@oscaruglyface) reported

    @signalapp @twilio Too bad all your businesses involve obfuscating instead of educating so no one knows how to generate their own key pairs and use any messaging service with gpg. I have no reason to believe the key pairs you generate are secure either. You are all liars and this is just the tip.

  • ohaikbai Mary (@ohaikbai) reported

    @signalapp I'm having trouble with messages delivering. I have service and the people I'm talking to aren't having issues receiving messages. There's just a really long gap of time between my sending the message and it being delivered. Help?

  • DecentralisedS ⚡ Ye Olde Decentralis'd Shoppe ⚡ (@DecentralisedS) reported

    @signalapp @twilio Why on earth are you still forcing users to hand over their phone numbers? Anyone with half a brain knows this is terrible for privacy. And supposedly that's what you're selling, right?

  • toddwagg Todd (@toddwagg) reported

    Is @signalapp having trouble delivering texts right now or is it just me?

  • DJ4N60_ ️️️️ ️ ️️️️ ️ 🜲 ️️️️ ️️️️ ️ ️️️️ (@DJ4N60_) reported

    @signalapp you fell of so quick lmao can’t even remember my login credentials

  • galvao Galvao 🇺🇦 (💉x4) 🐧 + 🪶 + 🐘 + 🐘 + @getlaminas (@galvao) reported

    Seems like @telegram is going through quite the shitstorm. Service was horrible all day yesterday. Web interface is currently down. Let's hope it can recover. Otherwise (or even if it does): @signalapp, people. Do it.

  • burialdeferred Impeach the sadistic STENCH (@burialdeferred) reported

    @signalapp We loyal Americans are so broken up about the attack on Signal that we are collectively sending the owners of Signal all the GOP thoughts and prayers that have been left over for the last forty years.

    @signalapp @twilio Your messaging service is not truly private until phone number is no longer required. Please provide support for usernames.
