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

  @signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?

  @signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

  @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

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

  @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.

  @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

  @mer__edith @signalapp After repeated messages and emails to Signal support, over issues of Indonesian numbers unable to register for signal and receiving nothing but 🦗... Beginning to wonder if there isn't something more substantially sinister going on. What is being hidden and why? If its bug - say and give a fix it timeline. If it's soft censorship, say so (aka the Gov leaned on you). Otherwise it's beginning to sound suspicious.

  @signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.

  @signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.

  @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.

  @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

  @vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity

  @signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
