@signalapp Take your time fixing the problems my friends, privacy is priceless. It's better to take the time needed to fix what it has to be fixed than rush it and putting privacy at risk 👌💪

@signalapp Maybe it's a good idea to block new users until server problem is fixed. So we don't risk a total collapse. Otherwise, thanks for a good app.

@AppSecBloke @signalapp And will your problems be solved if you don't delete the other app you are 'fleeing' from... It still has all the permissions you were worried about

@shyampsunder @ShivAroor @signalapp Interesting, do FB not also have the meta data relating to which users you are communicating with, when and over what time? And your real problem with Signal is the data is too secure for you to dangerously backup....

@elonmusk @signalapp Unlike Tesla programmers working to fix #phantomBraking right? Every update makes the issue worse, this is now a critical safety issue, we have 2 Teslas both up to date, both phantom braking for no reason at all, clear roads, clear weather... my old VW from 2015 works better!

I understand what it's like to have a large service down. and in the case of Signal, it's the pressure times over 70000 times. Thanks for the swift recovery @signalapp, take a break!

@ShahidWorld @elonmusk @signalapp java is pretty good backed for servers, the problem is that they didn't expect 40M users, now they have more servers and doubled the capacity and you can see it works just fine.

@signalapp Hello Signal, Totally understandable. Scaling up in such a factor would demand a flock of IT admins to mitigate such a move. I will be waiting patiently. Have been using your service from 2016.

@LovEcosophy @signalapp @session_app 4.5* not bad for an app that has had some pretty shitty reliability issues up until now.

FYI @signalapp : on at least Linux desktop app we are receiving a lot of errors saying "Error iprocessing incoming messages." Some friends of mine have over 10 000 of them caused by one or few messages at max. This said, I am extremely happy about the capacity problems. :D

@signalapp Uff. Reading this reminded me, that I hate people. Everyone should be aware that no service in this world ist prepared for quintupling their users in a matter of a few days! Can everyone just chill and wait? Nobody will die from not being able to send a text for one evening -.-

@signalapp Take your time!! First time I am feeling happy about service being non-available. We want you to come with bang & screw #WhatsApp.

@markus_ottela @neutrondrift @signalapp 2/2 Otherwise every new acquaintance will need an explicit text hand shake? I agree is an unnecessary concern. Also I believe login by username is in the cards (like in Telegram) where phone number is not required.

Feel really sorry for @signalapp - all that time waiting on folk finally finding a WA alternative - and the system is down for a long time. Telegram still working though :-) #signaldown #SignalApp #telegram

@signalapp I travel a ton, would it be difficult to get access to my signal if, for example, my linked number is a US one but am on vacation or something outside of the US with a temporary new number? That’s one issue Whatsapp always gave me..

It’s a bit of a shame that I convinced my family to move to @signalapp and then the service went down (and it’s been down for almost 24h). I’m sure it will be operative soon, but I’m not so sure many people will put up with it.
