  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️😷🗳️ | #WeOweUs (@tcely) reported

    It's kind of terrible of you to expect @signalapp to both analyze the black box and do your job of convincing law enforcement, attorneys and judges they were wrong to believe snake oil was reliable. Pick up the baton, and ask for help if you need it, but do the work!

  • AhmetAksekii Ahmet Akseki (@AhmetAksekii) reported

    @signalapp We are having trouble making video calls. Correct this first. then do a show.

  • seuri227 Seuri (@seuri227) reported

    @TheHorseman_99 @signalapp Yes, hardware security is a different risk. Erase old messages and never let your phone out of control. Airplane is a problem.

  • AdityaaMoitra Aditya Moitra (@AdityaaMoitra) reported

    @signalapp The simplest privacy issue in video call is one shouldn’t be able to record video which @WhatsApp lacks. One of the many.

  • Arcuna Arc Xuyna (@Arcuna) reported

    @signalapp Hi, for about a week now I'm having trouble sending messages. It just takes a very long time, but the problem seems to be intermittent. The issue occurs with all contacts. Is this a known problem? Server troubles?

  • WhotThaFawk 🇳🇬🇺🇸 (@WhotThaFawk) reported

    @KounisTou @signalapp Oh I see what u are talking about. It's an issue with your phone limiting background process for the signal app. Goto fone settings/apps/signal/battery/allow background activity. You can also fix it under the battery optimization usage under phone settings. That's how I fix mine

  • NalinMarambe Nalin Mārambé. (@NalinMarambe) reported

    @signalapp Many are addicted to WhatsApp and will remain loyal to WhatsApp, those addicted does not care about privacy issues. Some even does not know about the existence of Signal.

  • Steve_Kong S. M. (@Steve_Kong) reported

    @CadillacRod @signalapp The trick is not to have user names but to implement it such that the server does not learn your social graph. Although phone numbers can be a problem, they are also information that's already publicly available no matter what. But usernames are coming.

  • prem_2847 prem (@prem_2847) reported

  • daniel_tyukov Daniel Tyukov ☕ (@daniel_tyukov) reported

    @signalapp I have switched to @signalapp and have moved my family and friends to it as well. Until problems started to arise. First the message notifications at emergency time were not coming up. Then the video calls constantly disconnecting. This made us unfortunately leave Signal 😕

  • b9AcE b9AcE 🐊 (@b9AcE) reported

    @oysteinalvervik @signalapp Yes, but it's not done yet after all these years, so I'm asking them to fix it. I'm not "forgetting" anything. I'm considering it important that journalists/dissidents under authoritarian regimes be able to use a privacy focused messenger with privacy, without workarounds.
