CoderNemesis (@CoderNemesis) reportedThe thing I've been curious about the possibility of a federated @signalapp where anyone can start their own server and like @joinmastodon. People can send encrypted messages across platforms and not all data would go through a single service.

Derek Weber (@dgdw) reported from Chicago, IllinoisIt looks like @signalapp ‘s “share to signal” functionality from the Photos app on iOS 14.4 w/the 12 Pro Max is broken. It brings me to the unlock signal screen then just gets stuck in a loop.

MG (@mglennie) reported@signalapp Never intended monthly donation, one time only, I doubt I made an error on the app because it defaults to a one time payment. I'm usually pretty careful w/ things like this. Can you please correct this? I hit the link to donorbox, but it won't let me on to change.

Gautama (@goldgautama) reported@signalapp What about iOS and Android security backdoors? Nobody talking about it, but it's a real threat to privacy... What are your thoughts on this issue?

Owen 🎗 (@o_burbidge) reported@cheekypj @signalapp Hence why FB is desperately fighting Apple to take them down. The more people who know, the more chance people have of making an informed decision. FB would rather you not do that

Mister Max (@aero_ned) reportedHello, I have an issue with @signalapp . I don't have any notifications when I got a message when i'm on the screenlock. (Samsung S10E) Any tips please ?

Michael (@MichaelKapl) reported@signalapp Hi guys, are you aware that some users (including me) gut an error message frequently, when someone quotes an older message? Often times the error-message „Original message not found“ pops up.
-
IMSI👾2049 (@IMSITECH) reportedWhat use is a Secure App to me ? when an unnecessary SIM card weakens security. I wonder why @Snowden is promoting @signalapp as the safest messaging App. What does @matthew_d_green say about it: Is a cell phone number (SIM) a problem for communication security ?

-
Stefanie (@ILikeToTwirl) reported@roamingraghu @lnkslingerrr @signalapp I can understand it's useful for that. Trouble is people are using it like Instagram. I can honestly say I never open status updates. Even on here with Fleets. I guess I just don't want Signal to conform.

Hmmmmm (@Unbandedshield) reported@signalapp team, what can we do about "error handling incoming message" on the desktop?
-
Asif I. Prome (@asifprome) reported@signalapp You guys talk about ONLY privacy, but never care about your app's quality. Call drop, Slower texting, invisible gallery images sometimes... Lot of issues. Come on! Don't just market your app just based on privacy... Monopoly doesn’t last too long.
