@signalapp Hi. I still can't see all my signal contacts. Specifically the new ones, do you have an idea if this is still a problem of too much people at the same time or is just me?

@Snowden @signalapp Signal user here. I love it. Its the only privacy focused app iv been able to get my FAM into. But I wish they would get there s** together. They have not been updating changes to the server side on their Repo's, so, they aren't really open source anymore. Thanks for your service

@iambamvideos @Snowden @signalapp The issues that companies are also getting hacked and in that case “single person” can have access to those messages. WhatsApp and Signal are much better since they use E2E encryption by default for all chats and groups.

@someknew @signalapp Or, you know, not having to submit a trackable mobile number to use a secure messaging service.

@signalapp Any chance to fix the issues about sending image ? I love signal but that is a huge pain on Android, black screen and hanging

@amit07099 @signalapp Its always good to have multiple chat apps which value privacy, if one is down you can always use the other, there are options like @telegram too but unfortunately its not E2E which is just sad but telegram has its perks.

@tarteone @signalapp Snarkiness or stupidness?When was I debating about transferring old msgs? The only issue I mentioned was the annoying PIN prompts from Signal. There’s other ways to keep it secure but I can get why it wouldn’t affect U since U prob don’t have a life & got nothin else better to do

@Snowden @signalapp Signal ties to your phone number and doesnt auto delete msgs. Nor can I remove msgs ftom my recipienta device. Msgs safe on transit but not if device is compromised. Wish @WickrMessenger would fix the problem woth msgs deleting before you can view them

@TomGemcity @signalapp You might want to remember that Signal is free, funded by donations to a not-for-profit entity. It’s by far the best and most secure text and voice service available to the public. It’s not trying to be WhatsApp, nor should it.

Since I use @signalapp, @telegram I didn’t even know WhatsApp was down. I don’t use Facebook either so didn’t know that was down.

@astro_reece @signalapp I left back in May 90% of the people I message daily are on Signal. I just have to get my Mother, not any fault of her. I just keep forgetting to walk her through it. She wouldn't be issue like most people were.

@AlecMuffett @signalapp Fixed it for you. “In November 2011, Whisper Systems announced that it had been acquired by Twitter. Neither company disclosed the financial terms of the deal. The acquisition was done "primarily so that Mr. Marlinspike could help the then-startup improve its security".

@35Wds @signalapp I contcted support after inviting a friend and having the same issue. Almsot 24 hours later I get a response that it should be resolved now and a link to this tweet. Well, it was resolved but I’m having second thoughts about asking other people to move of the problem persists.

(@knc331) reported
@Snowden @signalapp People are so attached to WhatsApp it's became super difficult to convince them to move any other app even if it is more secure and private. While I'm using Signal, I need others to be also on Signal to communicate so it boils down awareness and self thought. Bad state to be in.

@morganjohn234 @Snowden @signalapp I haven't heard about nearly the amount of security breaches or trust issues with Reddit and Twitter, primarily because they don't ask for a while bunch of information like Facebook does.
