    @0hour1 @DaleSulliv94781 Good! @signalapp needs to do the same or they should be shut down completely.

    @signalapp seems to be down right now.

  • timderoode
    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  • marcmore011
    marcmore (@marcmore011) reported

    @signalapp The problem with Signal is that it doesn't use any of the contacts... Unfortunately, this is impossible.

  • marchofer
    marc hofer (@marchofer) reported

    @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

  • ThisisMarcG
    MarcG (@ThisisMarcG) reported

    @ritrixi @signalapp Its great for the login, but There was a decent argument for phone numbers, in order to gate the signups while still keeping it free. which made sense a while back. Passkeys still need a fallback & Users are sharing that fallback. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • lea7hersm17h
    🥷pirate🦜smith🏴‍☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported

    @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

    @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

    I hope you all realize that the only city this is happening in as Minneapolis. It was a planned insurrection by Frye, Walz, Omar with a help from that “police chief”. They don’t want you to pay attention to the Somali $9 billion fraud. They used @signalapp. The Lt Gov runs it

  • Sami_Lehtinen
    Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported

    @signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash

  • TallNupinks
    Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported

    @signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.

  • IrokoOkapi
    Iroko OKAPI 🇫🇷🇪🇺☢️🇺🇦🧌🐍🎼 (@IrokoOkapi) reported

    The issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  • fulldecent
    William Entriken (@fulldecent) reported

    @ZainanZhou @signalapp Signal could design this product to create accounts without a phone number. It would better follow their "Privacy First" mission. But they didn't do that. And they don't publish a lengthy blog on this contradiction. This is an unforced error.

  • AndrewMohawk
    AndrewMohawk⁽ⁿᵘˡˡ⁾ (@AndrewMohawk) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp What was the fix? Sounded like an exposed control plane gave everyone access which seems somewhat intended?

  • Avitus2187
    Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported

    @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.

  • NullCoinerETH

    .@signalapp down?

    anyone having issues with @signalapp ?

    @signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??

    @signalapp @Longtstanding Hegseth in trouble

  • bdmurdock
    Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported

    @zentex @signalapp All security eventually comes down to some sort of secret. Passkeys, 2FA, etc. are great because they don't require you to share secrets like passwords do. They are nearly impossible to hack. But they still require some bit of knowledge that a social engineer can get from you

  • SAP127001
    S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported

    Why you should really think about using mainstream messengers like @signalapp Stop linking your mob number to your metadata. No phone number, no problem; @session_app and @SimpleXChat don’t have these issues.
