    @signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.

    @signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    @bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

    @signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.

    @giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

    @botzero_net @theonejvo @signalapp LOLZ. did they think to ask the thing if it was secure and how much trouble they were in? (no)

  • marchofer
    marc hofer (@marchofer) reported

    @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

    @SabrinaHalper @signalapp @moxie Terrible sound.

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

    @VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.

    @naomibrockwell @signalapp Signal really is a problem fronting features. Even if your an experience computer user with some experience securing things, it’s often not obvious what to do or where to go.

    @signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • literaryjoe
    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.

    @signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??
