    @signalapp And what the high paid salary committee.what they are doing when the problem occurs,they dont know a signal problem or to find out. Dont give them a too much salary for those mistakes.......

  • cyrusstoller Cyrus Stoller (@cyrusstoller) reported

    .@signalapp Do you have an ETA on when service will be restored?

  • wispr22 WispR (@wispr22) reported

    @signalapp so you guys gonna fix the app or...?

  • tarikkranda Tarık Kranda (@tarikkranda) reported

    @signalapp No-one spends a penny for open source Signal's growth (free service with high security, no ads), but complains a lot in an outage. Just be patient for a short-while and go back to what is required to do in your offline hours.

  • lucky225 Lucky225🍀 (@lucky225) reported

    .@signalapp down *sigh*

  • GordonW09576304 Gordon Walker (@GordonW09576304) reported

    @LBersee @signalapp Its a bit of a worry that Google Nest went down at the same time. Cyber attack from the usual list of bad actors?

  • LBersee Lionel Bersee (@LBersee) reported

    @GordonW09576304 @signalapp What's also dissapointing is the fact that the desktop app simply shows a 'Disconnected - Check your network connection. Click to reconnect.' message, leading the user to believe there is a problem on their end... No helpful message like the mobile app.

  • tarikkranda Tarık Kranda (@tarikkranda) reported

    @signalapp No spends a penny for Signal's growth (s free service with high security, no ads), but complains a lot in an outage. Just be patient and do what is required to do in your offline hurs.

  • disinthrallment Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported

    @BacilDonovan @signalapp A great deal of the determination of *what* is in order to find out *how severe* a problem is. It is no use notifying “there’s a problem” on every little blip, or on internal issues that don’t directly impact users. Plus you don’t pay for it, so you should cut them some slack.

  • kahara Joni "五毛" Kähärä (@kahara) reported

    @RealGlenMerlin @WorstAtRoutine @signalapp Sure, but is everything replicated across those providers so that nuking one of them off the map won't bring the service down?

  • BacilDonovan Bacil Donovan Warren (@BacilDonovan) reported

    @disinthrallment @signalapp False alarms that might appear on the page are unlikely to cause issues, since customers aren't looking at it if they're not actually experience problems.

  • BacilDonovan Bacil Donovan Warren (@BacilDonovan) reported

    @disinthrallment @signalapp To be fair, Signal is hardly the only org that has this issue … heck, Apple is among the worst, with their status page sometimes being dead wrong for 8+ hours, then being back-dated only after the fact. I do try to call others out on that issue, too.

  • kln_nurv D K (@kln_nurv) reported

    @MayWongCNA @signalapp Seems to be having issues worldwide due to a problem at Amazon hosting

  • pieceoplastic 🐭 (A)nticapitalist(A) 🐭 (@pieceoplastic) reported

    Ist @signalapp down worldwide? Or just central europe?

  • UTKARSHAga92 UTKARSH AGARWAL (@UTKARSHAga92) reported

    @MikeCoxCowes @signalapp if its free does that mean it can go down for as long as they want without putting out a formal status update for hours ?

  • mrx2610 T-Rex (@mrx2610) reported

    @signalapp Nowadays I rarely check data connection if experience issues with sending texts

  • islambaduk Yasir Zargar (@islambaduk) reported

    @signalapp down?

  • MagdaAbuFadil Magda Abu-Fadil (@MagdaAbuFadil) reported

    @signalapp Can you specify where exactly? It would help users.

  • stunt_nuts UFO tofu (@stunt_nuts) reported

    @session_app @signalapp really poor taste to use their outage to promote your competing service. practice #hugops

  • marcusdeanadams Marcus Adams (@marcusdeanadams) reported

    @LBersee @GordonW09576304 @signalapp That was my first assumption because I was using it on desktop when it went down. I checked my phone and tried sending a message there over cell service to see if it was my home internet and finally got the explanation message in the mobile app.

  • swisstfrazer ScFrazer (@swisstfrazer) reported

    @signalapp Is the outage regional, or is it network wide?

  • VivicaGsy Alex Cross (@VivicaGsy) reported

    @tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Yeah, I'm interested to learn about Session, and I'm all for kicking the bad guys when they're down. But... Signal and their team are not the bad guys, the exact opposite.

  • Head_o_lettuce I am some lettuce, come and get us (@Head_o_lettuce) reported

    @signalapp #Holochain would fix this

  • session_app Session (@session_app) reported

    @stunt_nuts @signalapp Some people depend on their private messaging app not having a central point of weakness that can cause it to go down.

  • ernmander ernmander (@ernmander) reported

    Apparently @signalapp is down.

  • BacilDonovan Bacil Donovan Warren (@BacilDonovan) reported

    @disinthrallment @signalapp That, in fact, saves a lot of time and headache—early detection and *early notice* means fewer people sending in reports to people already busy trying to figure out and fix whatever went wrong.

  • missmatsuko Matsuko (@missmatsuko) reported

    Why doesn't SMS via @signalapp work when their servers are down? Shouldn't it work as long as the stock SMS app does? 🤔

  • jaredthirsk Jared Thirsk (@jaredthirsk) reported

    @tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Some people depend on messaging apps being available. Session isn't just a competitor; it is a new type of technology that is not vulnerable to a central server going down. I am going to check Session out, and hope Signal becomes decentralized too.

  • disinthrallment Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported

    @BacilDonovan @signalapp I’ve never - not once - been interrupted while doing emergency engineering work by customer complaints that things are broken. Such a ridiculous management situation would be far worse than engineers determining to update the status page slightly slower than random Twits prefer.

  • disinthrallment Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported

    @BacilDonovan @signalapp The customer can call the engineers directly? Yeah, no. I wouldn’t work in a place like that. That’s literally insane. Customer service departments exist for a reason.
