    @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?

    @signalapp I’m having issue creating an acct, why?

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  • ChillizHODL
    ChilizHODL⚡️ (@ChillizHODL) reported

    @signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.

  • SpritzChat

    @zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!

    @Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground

    Tee Time (@topicswithatee) reported

    @signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

    @signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity

  • VijjaHolder
    Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported

    @TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

  • BrunoZP
    Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported

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

  • OccupyNN
    #OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported

    @Krev2323 @signalapp They got exemptions for travel too - every time we got cases down someone would bring a new case in. With proper infection control alpha would have stayed in the UK, delta in India & omicron in African countries (S. Africa sequences unlike its neighbours)

    @signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp

    @PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀

    @privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds

  • mag_restlin
    ast_pap (@mag_restlin) reported

    @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.

  • ARQ1481987
    ARQ (@ARQ1481987) reported

    @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?

  • iMrHammad
    Hammad Maqbool (@iMrHammad) reported

    @PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?

  • dfsgdfgdfdgf34
    The Earl of Wankinshire (@dfsgdfgdfdgf34) reported

    @yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy

  • AlmightyAye
    AlmightyA (@AlmightyAye) reported

    @Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.

  • DustinFinn
    Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reported

    OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

  • cyp3_xyz
    CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

  • Durango4571
    Durango (@Durango4571) reported

    @signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.

  • MelvinDaEnigma

    @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

    @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

  • by6nes
    tom (@by6nes) reported

    Anyone had problems with @signalapp just freezing soon as app is open, sometimes if im quick it will let me open a chat but it wont let me send messages etc, cleared cache, reinstalled etc still same!

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    @notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)

    @KhalidWarsa @signalapp Damn, the factory reset part is a problem 🥲

How to interpret these reports

Direct reports are submitted by visitors. Locations may be estimated from their connection or supplied by the reporter. A low local count does not establish that service is working; the service-wide status and local report totals describe different areas. How our outage detection works
