    @anthowen03 @signalapp What does any non-profit get in return? What do you get when you donate to a food bank or otherwise help someone in a way that benefits society? Or have you never done that?

    @Tejas_Auro @signalapp "Going all in on you" You're doing literally nothing else than downloading an app for free without any commitment. Calm down your entitlement and respect others work.

    @signalapp Oh it has been 9 hrs? Guess a usage spike caused it. Recently lots of HongKongers has switched from WhatsApp to Signal (& Fb to Mewe) amid privacy issues. This could be disappointing if... wish you a smooth fix .

    @signalapp @signalapp have you considered asking user to pay or donate a monthly fee so you don’t have to go down the WhatsApp path?

  • ImMohanRao

    @signalapp Hi any timeline to solve, we are facing issue from yesterday evening in India, still not solved, more than 9hrs still service not restored.

    Perry E. Metzger (@perrymetzger) reported

    @_trapexit @signalapp I think the real problem is they maxed out the scaling their cloud providers could reasonably give them on zero notice.

  • CodeCommitment
    Code Commitment Solutions (@CodeCommitment) reported

    @squirrelly1357 @signalapp @MarkDiStef You know what's not a good look, complaining about a free service not being good enough for you.

    @JagannRamesh @signalapp @WhatsApp Are you serious dude? It’s simple: it takes time to add infrastructure to a service that has had one number of users for ages and then suddenly has a much greater amount of users. Like an order of magnitude more. You should try to stop thinking like this

  • subrayamallya
    Subraya Mallya (@subrayamallya) reported

    @signalapp Is there anything people in the community can do to help?

  • JuanGuzman2016
    Juan Guzmán (@JuanGuzman2016) reported

    @WSJ Not just "some" users. Most of the users actually. Just ask @telegram and @signalapp how many user they have gained over the past two weeks. Terrible business decision by WhatsApp

  • achilles_r2d2
    Aki (@achilles_r2d2) reported

    The @signalapp crash reminds me of the Canada immigration site crash of late 2016 for a number of reasons ;-) Don't stress out @moxie and team, such issues happen during unprecedented peaks. This is good! Nobody could've anticipated this.

    @Tejas_Auro @signalapp They are trying their best. Server down is common thing for new apps gaining huge attention in few days. Be patient.

  • LucasMathez
    Lucas Mathez (@LucasMathez) reported

    @NetGlitch @JnglstTICAL @signalapp Be a little be serious... Signal explosed since the fall down of WhatsApp but this wasn't expected. It was predictable that technically it will be hard to handle this massive incoming new users. If you complain I am expecting you did a generous donation, do you?

  • dickfooted
    Ricky Cain (@dickfooted) reported

    @signalapp is down and for once, it’s like I’ve had a entire day off

  • fekitcba
    kris (@fekitcba) reported

    @AppSecBloke @signalapp Was thinking similar tbh.. with WhatsApp fekin up ppl where either going to use Signal or Telegram and both companies should've have been able to anticipate this surge. Habejr seen any issues with Telegram today tbh, just my Signal

    Michael Bartholome (@Michael60580290) reported

    @signalapp Is this inconvenience, yes. However it is necessary to understand the growth this company has seen over the last two week. Stop complaining and start donating. Support signal and help solve the problem by providing capital so they are able to increase capacity.
