  @signalapp Can't believe you are pushing this over SMS. I will sadly have to find a new service.

  @MarkWillard85 @signalapp My issue was I went to it and it made zero sense intuitively. If that’s a barrier for me, like 70% of Twitter users will struggle and won’t use it.

  @jenplusplus @signalapp I thought @elonmusk was gonna fix dms?

  @signalapp Although I don't feel anything for stories, it might help with broader adoption. I wish you kept SMS support, but I understand it doesn't fit the security model. I do hope you could implement usernames or other form of ID replacing phonenumber.

  1/4 Many realized old messenger apps were a disgrace in terms of privacy and moved to alternative apps like @signalapp The problem: Signal requires your mobile number and is moving their focus out of privacy into social network,etc The solution: 1. @session_app 2. @ThreemaApp

  @RainofTerra @signalapp Probably doesn't help you today, but part of their explicit public reasoning for killing Android SMS support was that being a blocker to moving away from phone numbers as usernames

  Hey guys, your app keeps on crashing before it is even fully launched (post authentication), are you familiar with that problem? @signalapp

  @pquade @signalapp No problem. :-) I mean everyone should decide for themselves what they do with their data and profiles, Im not going to mastodon.

  @mer__edith @signalapp folks, please, fix the app. It regularly stops updating chats on the desktop, and the UI is so clunky. I really want to use Signal and I was donating to it, but it's literally unusable now. :(

  @signalapp Mastodon has real security and privacy issues, no e2ee and the admin on the servers can see any private dms between two parties

  @signalapp Hi, please enable login with email instead of phone number.

  @signalapp Updated to latest version 6.2 and still same issue.

  @signalapp Hey guys, no one answers the support requests sent by email. How else to get help on an encountered and recurrent issue with your App ???

  to people of #iran or other countries: we run a #signal proxy. in case your government blocks specific messenger services (such as @signalapp) but has not shut down internet completely, you can use it to bypass the block DM me for details if you're interested #IRanASignalProxy

  @signalapp I just transferred to a new Android device and now the app crashes about a second and a half after I open it every time. Any ideas what I can do to fix?

  @lauracrocco @signalapp If your account is hacked I suggest you message tron_cybernetic on Instagram he just help me recover mine

  @imaginography71 @signalapp It also unfortunately doesn't help that the "official" iOS app sucks. The signup process is a lot better in a browser. If you signup in a browser and then use a third party app like Metatext, Tootle, or Mastoot I think you'll have a much better experience overall.

  @craighead @mer__edith @signalapp My 90 year old grandma has no problem using Signal and Facebook Messenger and SMS. Just a different button to press depending on who she wants to talk to. No big deal.

  @jenplusplus @signalapp Last month, I had realized my last workplace was toxic. Insane amounts of stress, turmoil, terrible management all the way up the chain, dreading every day and it crept into my personal life. I was worried but quit without another job lined up. Only regret is not leaving sooner.

  💧Barry Steele (@BarrySteeleNB) reported 54 minutes ago

  Why has @signalapp removed my contact list and replaced it with history? It's getting harder to use and with the dropping of SMS, this app is losing it's attraction very quickly. Give me back my landing page. This is terrible customer experience management.

  @jenplusplus @scottageer @signalapp Also even if it was true AWS isn't magic. I am not sure how non-software people think AWS work but it very much requires a lot of engineers to maintain the backend service even if you move the infrastructure to cloud.

  @signalapp Not working.

  @Android I have never had this issue texting my daughter's iPhone. SMS works fine and for anything more I recommend a secure text app over weak RCS. Try @signalapp for a better tick experience.
