@whatsabschalten @MadusaraM @signalapp It's worth letting it installed anyway - even if no friends want to join at the moment. If they decide to install it in the future, you are already there. And they don't face the same issue as you do now. It is very difficult to overcome network effects of apps any other way

I would argue that the risk should be low for @signalapp but who the hell knows. If every organization is "validating" the information before shutting people down, then how would they violate private engagement that promises E2E on all engagements?

@signalapp has this odd UX due to it's contraints on views. I assume it's because of a discoverability problem. When you join, if you tell it to look at you contacts to see who you know is on Signal...

I see just phone numbers on Signal contact list after deleting a few of my iCloud contacts. Is that a sync problem ? #SignalApp @signalapp

@danielcid @signalapp Most of the new users Signal are seeing now are privacy aware ex-Whatsapp refugees, so yes I expect demands it is taken down or forced to add a backdoor, and yes, they will use a Parler type argument to achieve it.

the most i heard so far is that the clients were retrying too much when the server was down, which meant requests were piling up which (naturally) makes recovery harder @signalapp

@FrancisXRocca @signalapp Yeah, there was a huge influx Friday! Mine was down most of the day.

@JonyCButler @Snowden @signalapp .... I am sorry I didn't take your word for it. If you have no problem exposing your life to total strangers, use all the Facebook that you want. Then again, there are people who have no problem posting their **** pictures publicly for free. To each his own I guess

@xvlchgfq @blackdwarf97 @signalapp I give you options and I'm the troll? Haha wow you are a sink huh. Everything goes in your ear and down the hollow hole and then out. Retaining nothing. Makes sense.

@signalapp I changed phones over the weekend and now cannot get the Signal registration to go through on my new device (sms or call). I have Signal running on my old phone, iPad, etc. Anything I can do other than wait for load issues to be solved?

@signalapp I am sending messages alright but I can't receive. I tried resetting secure session in some conversations, it didn't help.

@signalapp my desktop app and phone app aren't completely syncing. When I send messages from my desktop they don't show in the chat history on the phone app - do you have a way to fix this?

(@TriTim) reported
@RMGirlUK @PrivaCat @signalapp If I moved to Signal, I'd lose all of the groups that I have one WhatsApp, as I'm never going to convince everyone else (and their groups, and so on). It's a matter of convenience/mkt share over risk. The problem is FB being sneaky by changing policy once they have market share.

@hamzattar @signalapp I totally agree with you and so far don't think that Signal actually has a misinformation problem, maybe in the future we can reasses this. I know that there's attempts for factchecking efforts in encrypted networks. Need to follow on such research

@kavinbm @telegram @signalapp (2/2) You can still be in the market by introducing end to end secure messaging service with stories and payment options. Please keep in mind that you are not hurting the core values of UX in every next quarter.

@signalapp is the service down again? Outgoing texts and signal messages not sending. Just see a spinning circle

one thing i'm worried about: before @signalapp was the first app in the google and apple stores, that place was taken by parler - who *are* those millions of users? can't help but think there's more than #whatsapp in there...

@najodleglejszy @signalapp Yes, indeed. At it creates a trap that a messaging app with perfect cryptography is still not sufficient to send messages securely. People who don't know that will get themselves in trouble.

@signalapp My Mac Version is completely out of sync and Messages I type on the Mac are not showing in the iOS Version. I re-installed Mac version and scanned the QR code but synching is not working, I just get a blank Signal on MAC without my contacts :-(
