    @elonmusk's favorite private messenger service @signalapp has been having problems all day long. "Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible." Been seeing that since something like noon ET today.

    While it's a good thing to see that enough people are leaving WhatsApp for @signalapp that they are struggling to add enough capacity to keep up, it also highlights the inherent problem with centralised services. Something that @matrixdotorg actively tries to solve.

    @skidmark @signalapp Hahaha what a fool. Ok professor I will fix my vocabulary just for you. Censor for saying calm the violent we want peace or say **** that leaks out that their buddy on the left or swamp and media don't want out . What a joke bro .

    @signalapp everyone suddenly came and caused a problem in this system. They saw that the gradual movement was better. Those who wanted to leave Whatsapp already had time.

    @signalapp @fyilmaz23 @bobgodwinx I paid in bulk for many years of service when whatsapp was launched but you guys sold the company. Please don't sell signal this time. Terms and conditions can be changed anytime.

    I never thought I would be SO put out by a comms channel being down. I understand they're fixing as fast as they can and I'm not mad at them but damn does a LOT of my daily interaction with people go over @signalapp! Poor techs there. So much for them getting a 3-day weekend.

  • patrickjyoung
    Patrick Young (@patrickjyoung) reported

    Today has been one of the least stressful days in weeks. Can we get the folks at @signalapp to take the system down like once a month?

    @signalapp The problem is that there's a single entity behind all this... Decentralized is the only real answer.

    @jtmajorx @signalapp Yeah I’ve been on signal for about 6 months and since they fixed some video call quality issues last year it’s been all good. It’s the newbies I’m worried about - I’ll just wait it out.
