  The Azeroth Auditor (@AzerothAuditor) reported 10 seconds ago

  @deoan_thall @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Overall to block and delete a conversation, that saves 3 clicks, from 9 down to 6. So that's helpful, thank you - no idea you could click on the profile pic to select a block that way. Still... block and delete from there would be a nice option, confirm both in one click.

  @whatsabschalten @signalapp my issue is I don't want to block them indefinitely. Will they still disappear from my contact list if I block and then unblock them?

  @moxie @signalapp It’s 2 of April. Where’s the new CEO? What about the new features and fixes for old bugs? Please do not forget about the users. Some Android devices still having problems with wake notifications even after blocking battery optimisations. #WEB3 is jmportant but maintenance is more

  @hacks4pancakes @signalapp I respectfully disagree that notifications are a privacy issue because you can see all of your contacts in the app anyway. However, if you said linking signal to a phone number is a privacy issue I would agree 100%.

  @JeremyRubin @signalapp @moxie Snapchat has a similar issue. Some of my friends have asked why I fall out of contact with them and don't engage as much and it's because their face disappears below the fold and I don't scroll down unless I need that person. It's my lazy version of the Myspace Top 8.

  @AlecMuffett @signalapp Yes XMPP's spam problems are more manageable because it's not all that popular, and it would probably be better for everyone if big commercial services didn't fully open. But XMPP does show that it's certainly possible to add new features to a federated system.

  Chrono Hart (@chronohart) reported 14 minutes ago

  @signalapp Note: I understand there is a setting to disable the notification, but it's enabled by default and it only disables incoming, not outgoing. Doesn't solve the privacy issue either way.

  @signalapp I manage a large Signal group and many users are experiencing repeated Captcha verification requests. Is this a known issue?

  Julian Freitag (@julfreitag) reported 17 minutes ago

  @signalapp Since yesterday, I can’t use Signal on my iPhone 13 Pro anymore. Every time I open the app it automatically closes after some seconds. Furthermore, I can’t receive new messages. On my Mac app, however, everything works. Restarted all devices already. Pls help 🙏

  @drwolfff @hacks4pancakes @signalapp The privacy issue might be the information that you use the app at all, not just that it's aware of your contact list.

• 
  Bastian Venthur (@bastianventhur) reported 21 minutes ago

  Using bots that automatically close "stale" issues or bug reports in your project is borderline disrespectful to your contributors. Either make a conscious decision to close the issue manually or leave it open so someone may come up with more info. I'm looking a t you @signalapp

  @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Long time Signal user and advocate here; yeah I agree it's a problem. I propose they set up an ignore tag that can remove individual entries from contacts during sync, and simultaneously hide your own number from that same contact. I'm not an experienced coder though.

  @bohops @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Oh wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

  Hey @signalapp I read there could be a URI spoofing flaw. What are you doing to fix it?

  @runasand @signalapp The real issue is the converse though and I don’t think you can turn that off.

  @signalapp i have currently upgrade my phone to android 12 and i am having trouble getting notification sound when a message come. I have tried everything like installing again from playstore, checking the notification settings. But its still the same. Can you help me on this?

  K e n Y o d e #vintagegod (@theKeynode) reported 33 minutes ago

  Hi @signalapp, I'm unable to receive verification codes via my mobile number, contacted my network provider and no help from that side as well. Are there other ways users could receive verification codes asides via SMS or calls? What about emails, etc? I've been locked out!!

  You know one problem with the internet? Too many tech bros. Only tech bros can find it acceptable that gay men are bombarded with female porn bots on @instagram and similar engagement platforms. @signalapp is now becoming a sewer for this too.

  @NikoJilch To disunite Europeans 🇺🇦🤡💉 @signalapp is an alternative (private) messaging service to #WhatsApp🤮. But it is not a panacea for communication either. After all, it's a company.

  @sethforprivacy @ThreemaApp @signalapp any plans to also build your own push notification service?

  Dorota (@dorota0989) reported 47 minutes ago

  @signalapp i’ve recently noticed that I can’t reply to messages ride from the notification/action sander in Windows 10 and 11, using Signal desktop could you please fix this? It would be easier to reply from a notification center in windows, thank you.

  @mostly_bsd @signalapp @FreeBSDHelp That specific config doesn’t (they are for in jail port bulding commands). I don’t know how far you can get for poudriere root. At least jail creation needs root, but I’ve never tried. See how far you get? Also you can jail poudriere, which might help?

  @eyefnwin_RG @signalapp I don't see a problem here, because via DM I was just asked to use the support function within the app, which I did. And regarding the push notifications: as I understand it, they are already working on this problem. I personally hope for a solution in one of the next versions.

  @signalapp The app has been crashing on my iPhone XS immediately on startup for days now after updating! I sent my crash log to your support email but it seems lots of people are having this issue. I myself have experienced this twice now. Will this be a reoccurring issue? 😓
