@kruljoch @Gi7w0rm @signalapp This is why sometimes there are weird sync issues with delivery on secure apps - or messages are never delivered.

@signalapp Aah it is secure because you told me it was. Still not working in China. What's up with that?

(@williampdance) reported
Signal (@signalapp) has addressed circulating rumours that the service has been hacked and its messages compromised. In a statement, Signal said “this is false and Signal is not under attack" adding they suspect they are victims of a coordinated disinformation operation.

@signalapp The non-VOIP phone number requirement is so shockingly terrible for OpSec it’s hard to think you guys aren’t just a honeypot Why can’t we just use usernames?

@Cryptomnomiconz @signalapp The damn thing requires me to log in with my phone and link a device. I shouldn't need to login with a phone when I have a massive immobile desktop in front of me. Facebook Messenger doesn't require that.

@perrymetzger @Cryptomnomiconz @signalapp It's often unusable for me if I don't have my phone next to me. Period. That makes for a terrible UX.

(@Gi7w0rm) reported
@syvergy @signalapp Why? Because a Signal Server breach could indeed mean that their internal passwords have been compromised and that their infrastructure in other countries is also at risk of beeing compromised. Which would at minimum mean a risk to their service functionality.

@signalapp signal stopped sending/receiving a few days ago. I tried reinstalling, but when it tries to send me a code I get the error "unable to connect to service". Any ideas?

@signalapp My friends on android seem to be randomly facing issues where they stop receiving messages and can’t send me messages. My friends (and me) on iOS aren’t affected. If my friends reinstall the app, everything is fixed. It keeps happening about 5-6 hours after they-

@April5886 @the_officiator @signalapp Never had this issue and have used Signal on three different continents. Including ones with rather lax attitudes to data privacy. I would imagine the risk is from your phone number getting exposed somehow, rather than a Signal vulnerability or abuse of your data.

(@April5886) reported
@the_officiator @signalapp These are people who do not (or should not) have my number. It's no big deal, I finally just deleted the app. I spend all day dealing with tech issues; I have very little patience for it on my own time.

@dheeranet @Cryptomnomiconz @signalapp Well, I don’t know what to tell you. My least technically skilled friends don’t seem to have any trouble with it, and neither do hundreds of millions of other people. Perhaps you’re just not good enough with technology.

@Cryptomnomiconz @signalapp signal had a lot of issues before, notifications delayed for weeks, sync completely broken, and still lacks non-phone-number id first two seem to be fixed already though so it's getting better, but I don't feel comfortable sharing my number with internet friends honestly

@littleelflady @signalapp Same issue. I don’t get notified any longer when someone leaves me a message. Have to open the app to then see it. Very annoying. I tried te registering. Don’t want to have to delete the app cause I don’t want to lose the actual thread. Signal needs to fix it

(@markus_ottela) reported
@MaxRovensky @evacide @signalapp the client indeed protects you from the service provider. Telegram sends the aforementioned messages to server, that has access to the content. So advertising Telegram's FOSS nature and RB is dangerous, because it misleads people into thinking it reflects transparency, and 2/

(@syvergy) reported
@Gi7w0rm @signalapp Even if they got access to a docker container, that doesn't allow them to intercept any messages because Signal does not have the encryption keys *at all*. At worse, they could bring down the app, slow down message transmission or disrupt service delivery.
