@signalapp After using signal for 2 weeks (since news on Whatsapp and privacy) I still have concerns; no online status in Signal, windows fat client is like 2010-ish look with the classic File-Edit-... view, winclient doesn't work behind an enterprise proxy, error handling msgs,.

@signalapp Guys. The outage is understandable. But the lack of communication is unacceptable. What’s going on? How much longer? What happened? What’s your plan?

@pmocek @signalapp Thanks, I'll pass that along. I don't see troubleshooting info for when you can't make a phone call with your Android because it routes through Signal and Signal is down. We can all hope that's rare, but it's terrifying in a crisis. Excited re Signal's new users. Congrats!

@benrxiao @csBlueChip @signalapp And aren't you annoyed when each time you reinstall and migrate , it asks you for a 30 digit passcode which when you do after a long time you remember you didn't note it down or lost it?

@milo4007 @signalapp How do you think the bigger players got big? Remember when Twitter went down so much it was the butt of every joke?

@jayjayHales @signalapp Seems much more of an issue than a USERID. I'm still getting the popup on my phone about the downtime. Are you getting it still as well? Been a while since I saw an app go down for such a prolonged time.

@ForLovenFreedom @signalapp Says the idiot who is disconnected with the reality of the situation. 40M+ users is not something you just find a miraculous fix. Try increasing the traffic by 5 times in an airport and see what happens. Keep your complaints to yourself or go back to WhatsApp.

@signalapp Still down in the UK. Any ETA for resolution? I moved quite a few groups across from WhatsApp and I’m now risking a mutiny! I still like you guys anyway...

As much as I love @signalapp for IM, I also love that @element_hq runs a @matrixdotorg server for me. No hassle, no availability problems, still strong end-to-end encryption. Might be an option for communities that don't want to share phone numbers. #matrix #privacy

@jamesd3rd @wiredfire @signalapp And also the path with your fingers is off. Pressing the plus button in the middle than searching down for gif and then climbing all the way to the top for searching a gif and hoping it will eventually show them.agreed. not a deal breaker simply bad UX.

@ForLovenFreedom @signalapp Here's an idea: Stop complaining about an open-source application created by hundreds of volunteers that prioritizes security that you're able to use for free and instead donate some money to their foundation to help them out. A 50+ million surge of users is no joke mate.

Why did @signalapp topple over with the (albeit insane) user surge this week? It couldn’t be only because they didn’t go the WhatsApp route and build the service on Erlang (Signal server is Java). I’m sure there are deeper distributed systems issues that came to play here.

If #privacy means anything to you, be patient with the @signalapp folks. Growing pains . They'll get it up soon enough, and learn from this. Next time I hear some say "Infra doesn't really matter like it used to", pay attention...No plumbing? No service! #DigitalNativeWoes

Hey @signalapp I don't see any of my contacts in the desktop app, and it shows an error when trying to import 'em manually, something like "contacts could not be imported, check your phone is connected to the internet". What happens?

@signalapp Ahoy! I have someone (say Mr. T) in my contacts that's having trouble with the app. A number of people in our group chat are seeing "Bad encrypted message" periodically coming from T, meanwhile the rest of us are successfully chatting on the app. Any idea what's up?
