  • DeividLedger13 Aioria 📷🚴‍♂️★彡 (@DeividLedger13) reported

    @ProtonPrivacy So it's good that @signal is keeping up the service, isn't it, @signalapp ??

  • donutbishop Stewie Griffin (@donutbishop) reported

    @signalapp When I try to login to my account it says "Too many attempts were made it register this device. Try again later". Please help me recover my account @signalapp

  • B1111777 Truth and Freedom (@B1111777) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith By "please fix this asap."I mean in general, as you don't have my ticket details of course. Use some intelligence when locking out numbers. Maybe send a text to inform and advise on how to register number again? Maybe some form of text verification of user/number?

  • B1111777 Truth and Freedom (@B1111777) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith Create a fast process for getting a locked out number re-registered asap. It is ridiculous to leave a user without Signal service for hrs/days (who knows how long since you don't provide a timeframe), especially long-time multi-year users. Do better.

  • edmooring Ed Mooring (@edmooring) reported

    @kurtopsahl @signalapp That this was published shows incompetence by the NYT editorial staff. They let somebody who doesn't know he doesn't understand the issues say something about those issues.

  • BancroftHank Hank Bancroft (@BancroftHank) reported

    Hey @signalapp I got in trouble with my gf because of a bug in read notifications. My gf had sent me a couple of messages, which I didn't look at because my phone was on silent. She then calls me through signal which I also missed, but...

  • edmooring Ed Mooring (@edmooring) reported

    @kurtopsahl @signalapp ence with any of the very real, life-threatening in some cases, problems that Signal and similar tools are trying to help with.

    @kurtopsahl @signalapp Say what? Sounds like they were desperate for an angle. “The problem with this privacy app is: It’s full of privacy.” -Dr Tautology

  • tiffanycli Tiffany C. Li (@tiffanycli) reported

    @kurtopsahl @signalapp Wow, this is terrible.

  • plioi Patrick Lioi (@plioi) reported

    @marknoble @kumarsalib @signalapp You're simply wrong by definition. My phone's stock SMS app is broken even after factory reset. Using signal for those few messages I can at least avoid buying the next Big Garbage Phone.

  • Pinky_Stete Peter Stevenson (@Pinky_Stete) reported

    @signalapp Can you please fix how searches work? If I search for "John Smith", I see results for all messages containing "John" and/or "Smith". WHY?? At least let me use quotes to combine the words when I search. That's how Google searches work.

  • nydrstrange Dr. Strange (@nydrstrange) reported

    @telegram If you don't answer me or fix my problem I will go to @signalapp .

  • leavemydata Nameless (@leavemydata) reported

    @signalapp are you down? We cant send or receive msgs 😔

  • notchur_enemy Dave Paquette (@notchur_enemy) reported

    @marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp It's only the right thing to do if you incorrectly assume that your service is so valuable and unique that you can force *everyone* to change their behavior by removing some of your service offerings. News flash: this has never worked.

  • Yadir8711 Yadir (@Yadir8711) reported

    @mer__edith I hope you can answer my concern. Since yesterday I try to register again at @signalapp and I never get the activation code, I waited a considerable time and I don't get the code by SMS either, is access to @signalapp blocked in Cuba or is it some temporary error?

  • marknoble //.// (@marknoble) reported

    @HadrianIsTaken @TerryCameronBC @signalapp Do people who have internet access but no cellular telephone service also need SMS which is a cellular only technology?

  • FinalOverdrive Final OverdriveⒶ (@FinalOverdrive) reported

    @jsrailton @scumbelievable @signalapp My reply: A problem for who? For whom is privacy a threat?

  • B1111777 Truth and Freedom (@B1111777) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith Moved Signal from old to new phone. Had some issues, had to re-install app a few times. My number got locked out for unknown period (been ~14 hrs), too many registration attempts 5+ years using Signal with my number. Ridiculous - please fix this asap.

  • er3ndar erendar (@er3ndar) reported

    @signalapp Man I want to donate but unfortunately it's a little bit hard to do it from my country. Let me check another way to do that. But thank you for your service and please keep up the good work.

  • iamstxrling BlackLivesMatter (@iamstxrling) reported

    @marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp Also, most of the world doesn't have ubiquitous internet access via public Wi-Fi, they get it via mobile service. A lot of toast places already use #WhatsApp though, so it doesn't really affect the ability to switch to #Signal.

  • mattkwarren Matt Warren ⚡ (@mattkwarren) reported

    @jsrailton My rights aren't up for a vote. @signalapp is offering a service that defends my right to privacy. Anyone can use the source code freely, including to self-host the service for even greater freedom. I'd like to see the government equivalent of that from this 🤡

  • KarlXOblique Karl Oblique (@KarlXOblique) reported

    @jsrailton @signalapp That lock won’t stop someone with a search warrant. Nor would help much in a might-is-right society with no laws.

  • zquestz Josh Ellithorpe (@zquestz) reported

    @catchmygrift @session_app @signalapp Same problem I have... I introduced hundreds of people to Signal, now I have to restart the process with Session. Times change. Now there is a better option.

    @signalapp The verification code is not available in China and requests this issue.

  • napsterbater idkmybffjill? (@napsterbater) reported

    Hummm, seems I'm having an issue sending/receiving @signalapp messages... Just started...

  • DpAngst Angst01🛡 (@DpAngst) reported

    @kurtopsahl @signalapp Boils down to "only the most zealous extremists and incorrigible criminals would have any reason not to have complete faith in the unerring benevolence, kindness, and competence of tech companies and Governments"

  • wportx Bobo Lobo (@wportx) reported

    @signalapp Completely switched to signal and have had zero issues in the last 12 months. Thank you, donated.

  • HadrianIsTaken Hadrian (@HadrianIsTaken) reported

    @marknoble @TerryCameronBC @signalapp I understand what you mean but the problem is that everyone still need a SMS client. So for digital minimalist they like Signal because it can also be their default sms app so they can delete the dump default one. The problem is, this move is non-needed and username is......
