  #OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported 45 seconds ago

  @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)

  Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

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

  Durango (@Durango4571) reported 4 minutes ago

  @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.

  @signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.

  @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents

  @_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice

• 
  Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported 17 minutes ago

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

  @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

  @spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.

  هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported 29 minutes ago

  @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

  @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  David Gobaud (@davidgobaud) reported 30 minutes ago

  is AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

  GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported 32 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?

• 
  Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported 36 minutes ago

  @bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.

  Dy 🌸🌈 (@evowizz) reported 39 minutes ago

  @chardidathing @signalapp I can see why, although having a fork has some limitations. How would would I keep? How much would I change? If I start forking and just change most of it, it's as good as a new project anyway. Besides, the parity issue happens with the clients of most apps, even simple forks

  T◎LA {313} (@TolaCrypt) reported 40 minutes ago

  first, messages aren't e2e encrypted. secondly, reduces the quality of pics/ videos being sent or uploaded on status. there’s a reason those contacts are not saved to my phone fgs, @WhatsApp fix up. a dumb update tbh, it’s high time to pivot to @signalapp

• 
  Web3Privacy Now (@web3privacy) reported 41 minutes ago

  Giving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.

  Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported 45 minutes ago

  @signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it

  @signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.

  pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported 49 minutes ago

  Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

  信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reported 49 minutes ago

  My mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.

  @signalapp Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)

• 
  CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported 49 minutes ago

  @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?

  Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported 51 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.
