    @fedora I just started using Fedora (thank you!), and I'm wondering if there is a safe, secure way to install Signal Desktop @signalapp? Do you have an issue with Signal?

    @smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security

    They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

    @enteio its great to see to companies being honest, i dont think they had any strong encryption in the first place but its sad that everything out there have some issues like slow speed, ui/ux bugs, no proper business model, etc except for @signalapp , but needs number to signup

    @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

    @aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

    @bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.

    @topicswithatee @signalapp Take the phone away from the kids if they’re not trustworthy. Problem solved.

    @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

    @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

    Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

    @signalapp Would like to offer infrastructure security help if it’s wanted @signal

    @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

    @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

  • cloudnine1080

    @signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.

    @signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this

  • BrunoZP
    Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported

    @signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.

  • aleksisjoberg
    Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported

    @nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time

  • BrendanEich

    Signal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!

    @signalapp i’m not able to login or subscribe as a new user after changing my phone

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?

    B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported

    @signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.

    @signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

    @femalepencil Because it’s owned by @Meta which is a terrible company - try @signalapp

    TIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)
