    @signalapp hey ... service unavailable (503)

  • JagannRamesh
    Jagan Ramesh (@JagannRamesh) reported

    @signalapp It’s ironical how @WhatsApp revoked it’s policy right after @signalapp went down due to high traffic. Who is behind all this, I wonder?

  • PillarsPeace
    Pillars of Peace (@PillarsPeace) reported

    @signalapp ‘Why did someone see that I joined Signal App’ People who already know your number and already have you in their contacts see that they can contact you on Signal. Nothing is sent to them by your Signal app or the Signal service.’ @signalapp

    If you’re sad about the outage with @signalapp, send them money.

    @signalapp Take your time. No rush. Just make sure we don't run into any issues after Feb 8th.

    @signalapp So when will your service be up again. Been down since at least this morning....

    @signalapp It's a good problem to have at least!

    @signalapp @OVHcloud @OVHcloud_FR What did you mean by "the worst service and infrastructure?" Tell me more about that's.

  • panJustice
    Deplorable Savi (@panJustice) reported

    @signalapp Do give me a reason why, so that i can help explain to numerous members in group who hv installed & waiting to migrate to Signal from WhatsApp.

    @signalapp Any idea how much longer it will be down?

  • SQL314
    Eric (@SQL314) reported

    @elonmusk @signalapp buy 'em.. help 'em... they can't even get an app for an Android tablet. They're a bit in disarrary. Will their 15 minutes of fame equal a better product? Been waiting over 5 years for features so WAY done holding my breath.

  • Johnny_Tran
    Johnny Bitcoin (@Johnny_Tran) reported

    @signalapp I love the positivity! Usually when a product goes down people get pissed. This just proves that it’s Facebook that people really hate more than anything.

    @signalapp there is a problem in voice call

  • hook_earl

    @signalapp when will be back online? I am a cyber security guy if I can help let me know.

    Why Is @signalapp still down?!?!?

  • zrh_6
    z-haef (@zrh_6) reported

    @KainsRache @ingabraham @signalapp Are you kidding me????? This is unexceptable. I rely on this app 24 hours a day and 1 hour of it being down effects everyone.

  • realJSarkar
    JayRS (@realJSarkar) reported

    @elonmusk @signalapp Oh boy send failed! Messaging is like utility service these days we can’t live without.

  • lattera
    Shawn Webb (@lattera) reported

    I wonder if @signalapp wouldn't be down today if they chose a federated model, like a non-insignificant number of folks want. #SignalApp #SignalDown

  • jperez1725
    Jon Perez (@jperez1725) reported

    @signalapp I know you guys were probably not ready for the amount of users but a whole day down it’s just crazy.

    @Chandra_Meena2 @signalapp Not working for me 😭

  • actuaryonfire
    actuary on FIRE (@actuaryonfire) reported

    @daniel_egan @signalapp Someone should invent a messaging app with a Blockchain. The distributed ledger would decentralize. The trouble is it would probably take days to get any message

    @elonmusk @signalapp Elon fix this too.

    @signalapp Services still down ?

    @signalapp still down here :(

  • Meatwad650
    An actual *** of meat. (@Meatwad650) reported

    @signalapp I’m seeing odd behavior. I can send messages to people I haven’t talked to before, but messages to people I have history with give a 503 error. Is that related to this issue or is it something else?

  • briankung
    Brian Kung (@briankung) reported

    @elonmusk @signalapp A donation of a couple million might help them out 🤔

  • KainsRache
    Folker "Ph0lk3r" Schmidt | stay at home! (@KainsRache) reported

    @zrh_6 @ingabraham @signalapp You can donate to them to help them keeping up their servers. That would help much. Signal is provided for free. If you want 24/7 availability you should look for a paid service with according SLA.

    @elonmusk @signalapp Elon, when is the Tesla phone coming out buddy? We are soooo down with it!

    ghostcpu (@ghostcpu) reported

    @lattera @signalapp it's possible, but unfortunately not a problem that can be solved right away. if so, many of us would have done it. i'm going back to submitting patches
