Finally managed to ditch WhatsApp after its major outage last night - there's just too many reasons not to use it. Been hesitant to do so due to many friends and relatives still using it. Time to board everyone on to @signalapp. 🤞

@fluidsonic @Snowden @signalapp I also see wisdom in Snowden‘s position: „You are trying to deal with an outage, yet your bigger problem is that you are using a platform that is exploiting you.“

Using an exclusive channel for all your comms (like Messenger, WhatsApp, or any other) is error-prone. Connecting with others on multiple platforms still makes sense, so you can still get in touch during downtimes. I personally use @signalapp and can't recommend it enough.

@morganjohn234 @Snowden @signalapp I haven't heard about nearly the amount of security breaches or trust issues with Reddit and Twitter, primarily because they don't ask for a while bunch of information like Facebook does.

@_tabula_rasa @signalapp I resent all these comments about old people needing help to use this. I'm not old and I haven't even heard of it until now

@signalapp The fixes mentioned in your email did not help at all. I could guess (although I am not an expert by any means) that in the process of erasing my phone the number was not properly unbound in one of your databases. (2/3)

@signalapp There should be an option to opt-in for people who install Signal to have people where their number is in the address book be notified that they are on Signal The option not to receive these notifications is a bit World upside down!

@TomGemcity @signalapp You might want to remember that Signal is free, funded by donations to a not-for-profit entity. It’s by far the best and most secure text and voice service available to the public. It’s not trying to be WhatsApp, nor should it.

@amit07099 @signalapp Its always good to have multiple chat apps which value privacy, if one is down you can always use the other, there are options like @telegram too but unfortunately its not E2E which is just sad but telegram has its perks.
