  @KushiKanzaki @leyaumegui @signalapp Can you tell me any specific error you see? Or a screenshot where you face the issue?

  @signalapp @moxie There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. The content of the gifs is in a state of harm to morality It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

  @signalapp @moxie There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. This is because gifs contain content that is against decentralization. It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

  @My2Gwei @signalapp Btc would be good. Eth is a broken scam.

  @adomjan @signalapp Hopefully they can fix it soon. @signalapp good issue to have, eh.

  If @signalapp not working for you, try reboot phone. That fixed it for me. But messages sent to me during outage has not been delivered.

  @gojimmypi @DecaireRobert @signalapp The problem is the flag it sets can be ignored- it's just a suggestion.

  Jonathan Hales 🚀🕊🥳 (@jayjayHales) reported 22 minutes ago

  What does @signalapp's tech stack look like? Surprised at the length of this outage.

  nileshbansal (@nileshbansal) reported 22 minutes ago

  @signalapp @signalapp it's now been 12h with no status update. While I understand the issue of sudden surge, you should provide hourly updates. Otherwise it seems you have given up and stopped the restoration process? Will Signal come back up anytime soon (today, this week)?

  @signalapp Still no update? Almost a day with this outage, you will lose lot of new customers if it continues with this pace

• 
  The World of Tech (@TheTechSpace) reported 25 minutes ago

  @timkindberg @signalapp @WhatsApp whatsapp is also encrypted, only issue being they store the keys and they sell your meta data to 3rd party

• 
  Sahil Mahajan (@SahilMahajan_) reported 27 minutes ago

  @signalapp Outage is still on.

• 
  C J San Andreas (@SportzPickz) reported 28 minutes ago

  People switching to @signalapp in droves to avoid these new @WhatsApp privacy changes. Edward Snowden uses signal so that's a ringing endorsement. If Julian Assange is unveiled as a signal user, whatsapp may have a problem on it's hands!

  Jim Kopps (@JimKopps) reported 35 minutes ago

  Hey @signalapp , do you have any intention of ever restoring service or are you just gone now?

• 
  1 (@ericbaustin) reported 36 minutes ago

  @signalapp is the service outage still ongoing? Is there actions that need to be executed at the user end?

• 
  Mohamed FiO🇲🇦 ❁ (@fahy_official) reported 38 minutes ago

  @signalapp Looks like you can't fix it 😕

• 
  Truth and Justice (@theveritas4) reported 38 minutes ago

  @aayushp10 @signalapp It's working work some and not for others. Unless it's working for everyone, it is still down or degraded at best.

• 
  Michael (@meetowl) reported 38 minutes ago

  Sending good luck to @signalapp 🤞, there is no way they could have estimated this much of a usage spike, but I'm afraid the recent outage is going to drive people away.

  Luca Filigheddu 🇮🇹 💻🥋🍻 (@filos) reported 39 minutes ago

  @andrea_moro @signalapp So far so good. Some issues yesterday, due to 3500 new users...per minute!

  Anthony Wanger (@AnthonyWanger) reported 41 minutes ago

  @gavinmcmahonco @benedictevans @signalapp The TOS are a “lagging indicator”. Lawyers update TOS only *after* the business/product people decide the service offering. Interesting that there is so much (negative) scrutiny of the contractual write-up vs the actual (& new) substance of the terms.

  Nalla Konar (@nallakonar) reported 42 minutes ago

  @DanishSait , when will you release video on Conversation around @WhatsApp privacy policy and @signalapp outage? That's the latest after Tesla's Bengaluru R&D Centre.

  Lamia (@lamiamunir) reported 45 minutes ago

  @signalapp Full down

• 
  Kili (@kilijanek) reported 46 minutes ago

  @khimaros @elonmusk @signalapp Java is not the problem here. Problem is with how many users showed up in last few days. Now it seems number of users exceeded 40 mln (I remember when I started to use Signal it was at few tens of thousands). Facebook policy towards WhatsApp changed everything.

  The World of Tech (@TheTechSpace) reported 47 minutes ago

  @KevinOnEarth @signalapp currently signal is having some server issues and problems with user sign-ups. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

• 
  Rita Queen Musk ❤️🏡USA 🚀Mars is ours. (@MargoMusk) reported 55 minutes ago

  @signalapp @TeslaHype The problem is always in the servers. A large influx of users.

  @signalapp video calling not working ?

  @emilioelmurr97 @signalapp The information disappears automatically as soon as all problems are solved.

  @signalapp Any ETA on the fix ? It is close to 24 hours since services are down..

• 
  Malek (@Malek26526400) reported 59 minutes ago

  @signalapp I have an error and I think it's not me only the problem is that when I send a message it says that it is sent but it did not deliver to the contact I hope you understand me

  @signalapp donation done from my side! @elonmusk did you donate? You are kind of responsible for service to be down yday by inviting people 😜
