@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

@legalize_logic @Snowden @signalapp I know. But as products, they are different products. They are not dependent on each other. Just because the owner is same, doesn't mean they will go down together.

@signalapp There should be an option to opt-in for people who install Signal to have people where their number is in the address book be notified that they are on Signal The option not to receive these notifications is a bit World upside down!

@signalapp @signalapp no one can know how it feels like working on outage except you because you have experience of working on it every second day… I wish good luck to Signal and team

@Snowden @signalapp Hard agree. But even Signal had a very noticeable outage recently.

@Snowden @signalapp You’re not making any sense here at all. How is Signal immune to technical problems that affected Facebook? How is being non profit relevant in the same context?

I must be one of the few ppl who was totally unaffected by the @facebook outage as I deleted my FB & WA accounts over a year ago and almost never use IG anymore. I only became aware of the situation when friends started messaging me on @signalapp asking me if I knew what was up.

@CliffordAgius I wasn't aware of the outage until I started to get txt and @signalapp messages saying 'is mum ok, she's not answering me' (why they didn't text the wife I don't know). I quit #Facebook years ago and don't miss any aspect of it.

@GregBufithis Users should have dropped #Facebook when they started collecting biometric data as a part of the terms of service back in 2017 #WhatsApp should have been dropped in 2020 when they started collecting user data for 3rd party services #PrivacyMatters, switch to @signalapp

@jay_kotakone Then I still would be talking and videocalling, and sharing pictures and videos to my friends on @signalapp without any issues.

@fluidsonic @Snowden @signalapp I also see wisdom in Snowden‘s position: „You are trying to deal with an outage, yet your bigger problem is that you are using a platform that is exploiting you.“

@Hebrewlit @Facebook @signalapp It's free because they leech your data and metadata so they get paid. Signal is free because it's committed to freedom. Same silly hand-wringing if it goes down, but no bloodsucking while it's up.

@hermandeperman @Snowden @signalapp Millions of ppl use signal since years, many just don't care about privacy and stick to WhatsApp crap because of convenience, that's the problem. The network effect and comfort with using what everyone else does is leading to catastrophic events from time to time. Rocket + matrix

@iamproofoflife @signalapp Your contacts don't need to have the app for their names to show up. Mine is working fine so it's a problem with the signal servers because of lots of people joining. You can send sms messages to people who have signal and those that don't.

Just an FYI to all our homies who use FB/insta messenger: @signalapp is a great alternative and is the most secure, privacy-centered texting app and works like texting. Great for when the non-secure, profit-driven internet platforms go down

@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!

(@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?

Edward Snowden (@Snowden) Tweeted: Facebook-owned Whatsapp being down is a reminder that you and your friends should probably be using a more private, non-profit alternative like @Signalapp anyway (or another open-source app of your choice). It's just as free, and takes like 30

@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.

Turn your @signalapp on!! It was the only way I could talk to my family (half a globe away) when the #outage happened today with the WhatsApp, FB and Insta. Say no to the #monopoly! 🌎🌍🌏

@jhfrith It's a good reminder for people to consider switching to @signalapp , since it's both unrelated to Facebook and more secure than other competitors. It doesn't solve the communication crisis, but it can help alleviate future ones.

I'm really delighted at the fact that WhatsApp being down meant my cousin switched to @signalapp (FINALLY). Curious how almost all of businesses in Mexico managed today without Facebook and WhatsApp. And that's why you don't rely on Zuck to run your operations.

(@attilagyorffy) reported
Using an exclusive channel for all your comms (like Messenger, WhatsApp, or any other) is error-prone. Connecting with others on multiple platforms still makes sense, so you can still get in touch during downtimes. I personally use @signalapp and can't recommend it enough.

@Snowden @signalapp Are you saying that Signal is not prone to an Outage?
