@signalapp Signal no more cares about your privacy because the owner got greedy and denies sharing more info and is deciding to centralize its platform. The owner is more focused on getting mobile coin and has shut down their open-source repositories, they could've followed "Matrix" API.

@signalapp Geeting a lot of message sending failures in the last few days. Some text-only, all emoji messages. Patch coming soon to fix?

@KounisTou @signalapp This is the one crucial issue should be fixed asap. I have to use Wp because of this problem.

@signalapp This is cool but pls find some solve for when the app is closed. Folks are not receiving messages when the app is closed. This is a problem as many rely on notifications to bother opening an app. RN everything unread starts hitting their app only when they open it after a while.

@TheSiouxfan It happened again yesterday and I thought of your tweet... It seems to be a particular issue follow updates @signalapp . Needs sorting!

I am not going to accept this "privacy policy" no matter what you do #WhatsApp (unless you roll it back and issue an apology for doing it. On second thought, maybe not even then) @signalapp is where I will be for the foreseeable future

@Elmar_Raguse @signalapp Yup painful I know maybe speaking to them letting them know your privacy concerns might help them to understand why it’s a better switch bud 👍 all you can do is try right hehe 🙃

@cherrypiejay As a cryptographer I would strongly recommend against using @signalapp because the protocol is broken, the service is highly centralised on tapped servers, the app itself is dependant on phone contacts. Basically you're asking to get hacked.

@JakeDEvans @signalapp The problem is that Signal should fix their privacy-focused messenger to no longer include this major fundamental flaw, not requiring users to use workarounds, which may not even be available to those that need privacy protected the most.
-
Angela Scholder
(@AngelaScholder) reported
@signalapp The only privacy issues are indeed the phone number, which very often, and in some countries required by law, can be traced back to the person, and that Signal notifies you of contacts opening or having a Signal account. Only someone telling someone else themself it should be!

@DuckDuckGo @signalapp Nobody mention @ThreemaApp which is Swiss based, don't need your phone nr. or even SIM. However, the biggest problem for many is that it "cost a lot". $3 paid once for life. This is why many sell their metadata etc. to WA. We buy Threema for our clients.

@signalapp If you just finally fix the design flaw requiring people give out their extremely personally identifiable mobile phone numbers to people to start conversations, instead of allowing e-mail or username identifiers, you would become undeniably the best messenger all aspects. Fix it!

@signalapp messages are not delivering to the other side (too much late double ticks) though I and my counterpart have good internet connection. Can you please help me?

Hey @WhatsApp - I deleted my account in January but my name still appears to my contacts. It’s INFURIATING. How do I amend this? Your ‘customer service’ has yet to help me with this... one of the reasons I moved to @signalapp ...

@signalapp you should fix the problem with notifications on Android. It's very annoying issue

@signalapp If signal would let people easily migrate from WhatsApp to signal with their whole media and chat backup, they would love to do it. But you guys don't even have the web app yet due security issues.

@signalapp That's great. But can you guys fix the problems with invisible call notifications? Some of my friends are switching back because of this 😔 Also, still waiting for that "only admins can post" feature 🙄

@Elmar_Raguse @signalapp I feel that it’s not a signal problem as much as a user complacency problem I’d love all my family and friends make a switch to a more end to end secure platform like signal but it’s “easier” for ppl which is unfortunate

@netzverweigerer @ThreemaApp @signalapp I disagree, marketing exists for a reason, and that's spreading awareness. Usually about one's product(s). If people don't know about an issue it's unlikely they will encounter it and dig deeper into it. Word of mouth will only take you so far, unfortunately.

@censuritis @signalapp I copied no ones comment. I didn't check the code for some time. The connection to my phone number is still a big privacy problem.

@DuckDuckGo @signalapp Signal is not the only safe chat service. Wire: not even a tel. nr. needed and available without Google and Apple.
