2. Our early access group will be able to mint a number as a NFT that they can self-custody for use with our wallet secured 2FA service, in place of insecure SMS 2FA, and for use as a number that doesn't dox you with existing messaging apps like @signalapp and @telegram

@mer__edith @signalapp With respect, why not just say so in the initial blog entry? "There are issues with RCS that are limiting our ability to continue down this path" might have gone over better than hiding the ball. It would have also been privacy-forward, calling out Google for undermining choice.

@pseudotoshi @astupidmoose @signalapp I still don't understand how people still even like Apple. I have sooo many customers that come in and just can't fathom the issues they are having are related to improper Apple product operation, yet it's ALWAYS the Apple product. I had one, will NEVER go back. Best wishes.

@sisterinferior That’s an easy fix by @signalapp, modulate the status message update so the timing is thrown off.

@signalapp "ensuring people aren’t hit with unexpected messaging bills" Guys this sounds like an UI issue.. A dev problem. I can't see this doing anything else other than hit your adoption rate.

@signalapp Terrible idea. I thought you guys were changing the game by making security convenient. The number of texting apps I want to interact with is exactly one.

At this point it feels like a problem that @signalapp is the only game in town. Maybe I'll be able to donate to them again in the future if @mer__edith is able to up their support game.

@roycoding @signalapp I don't think @signalapp has cared much about the community or their users. It's always been mission driven over everything else, i.e. we think this, and now we're going to shove it down your throat

@signalapp This is a terrible idea. At least add a setting to still allow SMS integration for those of us smart enough to know the difference.

@mer__edith @signalapp Contact list is available when you login for the second time on a new device. Surely contacts are stored somewhere in the cloud.

@mer__edith @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp This doesn’t solve the main issue, which is you knowing who your users are.

@signalapp when did y’all start using a “verification required” to prove I’m not a bot? Are bots a problem on the Signal app?

@signalapp many times when I record a voice message at the end of it I will hit the send button and a a tooltip will pop up telling me I can press record to send a vm and now my vm is gone. What causes this glitch and how can I fix it?

(@davidbaunach) reported
@In0as @signalapp The whole concept of a e2ee messaging service that requires your phone number is rediculous, but, sms integration made it an okay trade off. Without that, no reason to stay, much better apps that don't require phone numbers are out there.

Aaaand.... @WhatsApp is down!!! We should start using Twitter as the default messaging platform! If only all of my friends were on @signalapp.

I agree with everything in this podcast & that removing SMS from @signalapp is a terrible idea. Even when SMS is removed they will still demand phone numbers from users 🤷

@wa_status It seems #WhatsApp group messages are down, only personal messages work. Another reason why everyone should have @signalapp installed, at least as a backup.

@signalapp Now, the very usual anwser "meh, another app, again, why?" is more than ever another argument to fight about. Unfortunately at the time, I do not think Signal can afford to leave this can of help. /4

the fact that signal *requires* me to make a gc name keeps me from reaching out to so many people,,, someone at @signalapp pls fix this 🙏🏽

@mer__edith @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp Is the spam problem also why Signal doesn't use email to log in?

(@kfinkelstein) reported
@signalapp This change is going to both make Signal's userbase more loyal and shrink it considerably. I've seen enough comments from users leaving the app to know this was a poor decision, and even though Meredith is doubling down on it, I'm not interested in dividing my contacts.

@farbenstau @signalapp Maybe not advise "less savvy readers" on Chinese OPSEC when you have zero experience and detention by the state is the failure mode? I get this is all a cute abstract question for some of you. But I've seen quite enough **** comms advice get Chinese people in trouble thanks.

I guess I need to walk back my support of @signalapp through donations. Facing my second loss of message history due to a known and reported bug/issue with no real response from Signal support. It's a real bummer considering Signal is my primary comms platform.

Meredith Whittaker
(@mer__edith) reported
@iAnonymous3000 @signalapp As you may have seen we're working on usernames which will let you keep your phone number private from people you communicate with. You will still need a phone number to register, but this will solve a lot of the issues we've heard from people who use Signal.

Hey @signalapp I don’t receive any notification for Signal for a few days on an iphine8, Updated twice the app, restarted the app, the phone, followed every step from your help section, no better, what’s going on?
