    @signalapp Forward do not back down

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @markus_ottela @signalapp @moxie The issue is well documented with ample citations. The remaining forum conversation is sociopaths debating if a modest effort to keep activists from being detained in authoritarian countries is "Signal's job" or "worth it" and I don't have time for sociopaths.

  • HowlingLycan1 HowlingLycan (@HowlingLycan1) reported

    @signalapp are you all still trying to understand the inconsistencies or is there a fix?

  • realPOTUS2018 Full Name (@realPOTUS2018) reported

    @signalapp I made a minimum monthly donation of 2,47 Euro. If you would allow to go down to $1 or 1€, much more people may "subscribe". We all want to get rid of WhatsApp / Facebook

  • RaleNorthGate 𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓴𝓸 & 𝓘𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓪 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@RaleNorthGate) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Email service? I would love for them to have their own email service.

  • RaleNorthGate 𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓴𝓸 & 𝓘𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓪 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@RaleNorthGate) reported

    @signalapp Are you planning your email service?

  • SenselessEarth Nick (@SenselessEarth) reported

    @Vamsin2000 @signalapp Terrible idea. Security and end to end encryption is the point of signal. Adding features such as payment or anything else that does not give signal full control of security diminishes the idea of the app. You want payments and other features? Use the other apps. I want privacy

  • richblumer Rich Blumer (@richblumer) reported

    @signalapp I am on a Samsung S8+ & still can't send messages. I can receive messages. Is sending messages still an issue? #SignalApp

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @GodSaysHodl @signalapp Sure, and Signal being pretty careful not to tell any users about that issue, Chinese or not. But Google's going to say "nope" to a National Security Letter right?

  • RaleNorthGate 𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓴𝓸 & 𝓘𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓪 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@RaleNorthGate) reported

    @signalapp Are you planning your email service?

  • ValdasVaitiekus Valdas (@ValdasVaitiekus) reported

  • conorsvan1 Conor (@conorsvan1) reported

    @DanJRWalsh @iaryan_m @signalapp Thats why you lose all those messages in this outage. No backups.

  • badrivasan Badrinath Srinivasan (@badrivasan) reported

    @signalapp has the service been fully restored? Messages are still not going I still see the dotted circle spinning for the past one hr

  • ea_mlopezc6 Matías Andrés (@ea_mlopezc6) reported

    @signalapp I hope they fix the errors in the next updates and add new things. And please don't miss the simple and orderly style of the application.

  • Kumud_TS Kumud Teresa, PhD (@Kumud_TS) reported

    @signalapp We need the internet to help us, not rule us. Data privacy is a basic right. #SignalApp

  • marramgg Marcos (@marramgg) reported

    @Maroof__KHAN @RichardBColon @signalapp That's a privacy issue. I don't want people to know if I'm online.

  • ManaEahart kaliflower (@ManaEahart) reported

    @signalapp Here's to @signalapp team for their hard work & massive effort resolving this issue 👏👏👏🥂

  • ViejoEngineer Jose Madrid (@ViejoEngineer) reported

    @signalapp I had a different side effect where the app was crashing so I had to uninstall and reinstall. I didn’t have much history which is fine, but could be a problem for people who had history. Thought I would put my issue here.

  • BareMtlAlchemst Baremetal Alchemist Ronin👹👽🐙🧝‍♀️🛸 (@BareMtlAlchemst) reported

    @signalapp having trouble with your app. Getting "bad encrypted message" even after resetting the secure session, and verifying the safety number. Please advise.

  • jmelick Josh Melick (@jmelick) reported

    Opening @signalapp these days shows like 20 new friends each time - lol and good. Problem is, I tried using it exclusively previously and it just isn’t as nice as @whatsapp - don’t miss this opportunity tho Signal!
