    @signalapp @superglaze Left Signal together with my family after they tried to shovel down my throat some PIN to use the app. Also app requiring phone number and using centralized server not allowing 3rd party clients is far from secure or anonymous. You are better off with Element/Matrix.

    @AKress84 @signalapp Nope didn't. And also the update didn't help. We had to erase and install everything new.

    @iyad_elbaghdadi @signalapp I wonder whether that's accurate. Most reporting just referred to the opening of a presumably regional office. (General note: If you ever want help reading tech news, hit me up. I'm one of the world's experts at that.)

    @risknc @signalapp Teams would be really good, but cross organization collaboration is broken worse than it was in slack before slack fixed it. I spend way too much time in these platforms.

    @hareinegi @signalapp @BriarApp Actually I take the Ricochet back as a recommendation, not only is the site down, the old v2 Onions stop working in October so unless the project sees an update, it's deprecated.

    @signalapp Voice calls not working. Phone icon doesn't respond. Text appears to be working OK. Just started happening this evening around 9pm EDT. On an iPhone SE2020, IOS 14.0.1, Signal v5.8 (just updated last week). Any other Signal users unable to do voice calls right now?

    Hey @signalapp, I need some help. One of my contacts is creating an endless row of "Unterhaltungsitzung aktualisiert"-Messages (about 30 per Minute). Even blocking the contact doesn't change that. What is wrong and how can I stop that?

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Yes, but the issue is more like: I receive a signal message. I get notification (+bubble). If I ignore it for minute or two, I hear the notification sound again - for the same message if I have not dismissed the notification
