-
Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported@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.
-
airtx (🥚,🥚) 🇦🇲 (@0xairtx) reported@KhanAbbas201 @signalapp Its just terrible for groups.
-
Недовольний твітер (@_vlad_che_) reportedWhen I want to transfer data from desktop (without a camera) to mobile @signalapp, I open the desktop QR , then I select "Transfer from other device" on mobile and get another QR. What next? Scan QR by QR? Maybe you have mental problems to create such a stupid flow.

The Earl of Wankinshire (@dfsgdfgdfdgf34) reported@yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy
-
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.
-
anticensor (@blankanticensor) reported@StefanBrindusa @daily_romania @signalapp I dunno if you just didn’t listen well, or if you don’t understand the issue. Those vulnerabilities were open-source algorithms!
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported@signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.
-
Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported@signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.
-
ENIGMA 🦍 (@MelvinDaEnigma) reported@signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?
-
Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reportedThey don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp
-
CTRL_ALT_DELETE (@CtrlAlt8080) reported@JackRhysider @signalapp Same as the API.WhatsAp is evrywhere bc Meta sells the Business API. eats the spam/abuse problem with a massive trust & safety org.Signal is 50 ppl at a nonprofit. Doctor-and-shop messaging means becoming a spam cop and a subpoena magnet. It's the the design, not a lack of will.
-
Brady Dale (@BradyDale) reported@LydiaMoynihan I can't help but feel like sovereign AI will be like using @signalapp or a VPN, something savvy people care about while consumers in general just won't be bothered to think thru Might be something corporates buy into tho. I could buy that.
-
John (@johnspaetzel) reported@signalapp And I didn't realize before this that signal had a backup service. So that's $2/mo ad-infinitum
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
Yegor Tkachenko (@yegortk) reported@signalapp @prestonjbyrne Life is a multi-obejctive optimization problem - child safety is one important objective, privacy is another important objective (Iranians would love more privacy from their state). Maxing out a single objective when the price of that is sacrificing all else is a bad policy.
-
هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported@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.
-
محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported@signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Shahab Afridi (@shahabafridi) reported@signalapp What is the issue with the sms in pakistan? When trying to create account without vpn it always tell that connect to internet, when used vpn it says we can not send sms, try in several hours
-
Susanne Leist (@SusanneLeist) reported@RichAzzopardi @NYCMayor @signalapp Mamdani can finally be taken down for illegal activity.
-
JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported@carolecadwalla @signalapp Musk is a problem that needs to be dealt with entirely separately from protecting children from material our society has decided to bar them from. Musk and his like are a separate problem we MUST deal with anyhow. Using them as an excuse to avoid helping kids is absurd
-
Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported@signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.
-
Nemesis (@lov24751) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep
-
Gurio (@StasisRush) reportedHuh, the @signalapp ended up to be the worst possible connector for an agent bot identity. I didn’t not expect to say it, but here it goes: WhatsApp is a easier to setup if you want a messaging face for your service/platform
-
iknowatchamacallit (@justichidi) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks If your child is seeing porn on your phone, fix your life. If your child is seeing porn on their device, you're failing your child.
-
Jamie (@Jamiemullen67) reported@anilkseth @signalapp The privacy concern is fair, but this hasn’t “broken” iMessage encryption. Your messages are still end-to-end encrypted in transit. The person receiving them could already screenshot, copy, forward or photograph them; this just makes it easier for AI to read, search and summarise their copy. That’s an endpoint privacy issue, not an encryption backdoor.
-
nisten🇨🇦e/acc (@nisten) reported@privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds
-
Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.

cookiesvodka (@_cookiesvodka) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Safeguard the women and children by mass deporting migrants. Islam is the problem

John (@johnspaetzel) reportedUpgraded to the Pixel 11 Pro today and I'm happy to report that it's incredibly boring and everything just works. Fastest switchover so far, only casualty was that I couldnt instantly transfer @signalapp without paying for their backup service. So I'm out $2, but to a good cause.
