  @simulx4 @signalapp I'm working on it! It's a hard problem to solve, and even with my current solution there is some metadata leakage. Some of the metadata can be obfuscated for protocols that aren't many-to-many in large numbers.

  @signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this

  @PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

  @TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

  @signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

  @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

  @0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.

  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 34 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

  John (@johnspaetzel) reported 35 minutes ago

  Upgraded to the Pixel 11 Pro today and I'm happy to report that it's incredibly boring and everything just works. Fastest switchover so far, only casualty was that I couldnt instantly transfer @signalapp without paying for their backup service. So I'm out $2, but to a good cause.

  @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

  @VusiThembekwayo @signalapp @telegram This will not help anyone. If one needs a secure way of communicating, one needs a self hosted option

  @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

  @aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

  @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  @spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?

  Jay Mutzafi (@JayMutzafi) reported 54 minutes ago

  @signalapp why is Face ID so slow only on signal? Whyyyy? I beg of you to fix it. It’s death by a thousand unlocks. It’s a tiny torture that slowly sends me into madness each day. Please of the love of all that’s secure and private, fix it.

  @LydiaMoynihan I can't help but feel like sovereign AI will be like using @signalapp or a VPN, something savvy people care about while consumers in general just won't be bothered to think thru Might be something corporates buy into tho. I could buy that.

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  @chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?

  Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?
