    @Snowden @signalapp Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.

    @Snowden @signalapp You’ll have to rely on Twitter!!! These Facebook software engineers are resetting the servers and are sent to the company U.S data center to fix the problem!!!!

    @LunaSafwan @HassanChamoun I messaged my mom on signal and iMessages a few ago telling her it’s an outage not internet issue. Coz being “me”, I have everything installed and secured on their iPads and phones. But everyone should move to signal at least for now. And hopefully get used to it @signalapp

    @kylejohnmorris @signalapp Our AC went down at the same time FB and WhatsApp went down at our co working space in Playa del Carmen. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

    @lubarnwell It is crazy. and hours later...no fix! See me downloading @signalapp and sending one line emails to survive.

    William💉💉 (@dxgl_org) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Does Signal depend on any servers that could melt down too? No service is immune from going down. Sometimes my own server goes down when the systemd logs eat up all free space. Also, under what pretenses did Twitter give you a check when those not wanted by courts get none?

    Curious to see @signalapp s increase in users as a result of WhatsApp and the rest being down

  • EamonCaddigan
    Eamon C (@EamonCaddigan) reported

    Real question in light of the Facebook outage: was there ever a good reason to use WhatsApp instead of @signalapp?

  • HikingHack
    Digital Naturalism (@HikingHack) reported

    ¿Tu WhatsApp no ​​funciona? ¡Puedes probar @signalapp , que es gratis, más seguro y no forma parte de Facebook! is your WhatsApp not working! you can try signal which is free, more secure, and not part of Facebook!

    While Whatsapp is down, you might as well keep on switching to @signalapp #FBdown #Facebookdown

    You can give @signalapp a try. I use it all the time and I have never experienced any issues like this. #whatsappdown #WhatsApp

    @Thabi118i @signalapp I had it before but I haven't had issues with Telegram

    Dear @signalapp , when I make a video call, the ring tone is legitimately most unpleasant ring tone ever. Can you please fix. 🙏

    Jeet Pandya (@thisisjeet2009) reported

    Now using @signalapp to communicate as #WhatsApp is down.

    Toyin Kolawole (@ola210_toyin) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Signal will never be down? What kinda logic is that, or you know why Facebook is down in a way that another online service could not be?

    @UnequalScenes @signalapp An employee blew the whistle on the company practices and they shut it down

    @Snowden @signalapp oops, sorry, there is no news now, fb is down…

  • AtticussFrench
    Atticuss French (@AtticussFrench) reported

    Now that #WhatsApp is down, might I suggest switching to @signalapp, which I find to be a far superior service, and, as a cheerful bonus, is not run by Machiavellian androids seemingly intent on destroying democracy, humanity and the planet we live on. #whatsappdownswitchtoSIGNAL

    @signalapp Oh guys, this has been a problem forever. But I am not against manual anything, so.... yeah! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    @aurabogado @froomkin Well, use @signalapp. Problem solved.

    Now that Facebook and Messenger is down, consider switching to a private and more secure alternative: @signalapp In Signal, privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that it works. Every message, every call, every time. #eff #facebookdown

    @Verscuse @gcluley @signalapp It doesn't let me. I hold down the camera button and it just takes a photo.

    WhatsApp is down. Give @signalapp a try.

  • Hebrewlit
    Dr. Rachel S. Harris (@Hebrewlit) reported

    @danfriedmanme @Facebook @signalapp People use whatsapp because it’s free. Otherwise they could pay for messaging. I find this hand wringing ridiculous. It’s a free service and therefore it doesn’t owe anyone anything.

    @808constituent @signalapp I've always found it odd that anyone would use WhatsApp- a supposed encrypted messaging service that is owned by *Facebook* when they could he using Signal
