@signalapp Hi guys, I'm having trouble with registration, chance I can get a hand?

@signalapp I think this is a terrible plan. I have Signal contacts and non signal contacts. The ones who use e2e like that I use Sig. Others are oblivious to what I use. This basically means I am not gonna use Signal for my android.

The issue with @signalapp removing SMS is starting to feel like the numerous times DeviantART got an update that a **** load of people didn't like. ... And we know who got bought by Wix eventually.

The most disappointing part about @signalapp's "solution" is that this was a business *opportunity*. If these costs are indeed high then they are in a perfect market position to arbitrage the MMS fees by charging for a Google Voice-like service that proxies data <-> MMS.

@KyydSyyd @signalapp I meant as a one-stop texting service (e.g. people have your cell phone & use that to text). For my cell, I had the choice of my SMS app or Signal, but not both. I like Signal, but the only people who use it are about 10 people (in my life). Other people don't want to use it.

@signalapp I've read the blog post and I don't think you've made a good case for this. Maybe you're not telling the whole story? It mostly seems like this is a UI issue that could be solved. What's the point of this app, if you make this change?

@bbaskin @signalapp Oh god, my sympathies. Our overall corporate netsec team decided to block images/files in Slack. I won an exemption for a year. The exemption has expired, and I’m trying again to fix things again, and I literally think it’d be easier to interview for a different job.

Is there an issue with the App, @signalapp? App is up-to-date and it keeps crashing when I try to open it.

@signalapp Yeah, do you know how many of us have iphone users as family members who refuse to get a other messaging app. They all think I'm the crazy one for not getting on apple. I think you're making a huge mistake and now I have to look for a new messenger service. So thanks.

@naomibrockwell @signalapp It sounds like some people in power in the US government don't want people to help out Iranians anymore. They might have particular interests and incentives to spy out on Iran right now 🔥🚀

@Civis_Nacho @hortstu @signalapp pretty sure the phone number is gonna be contained in the subpoena the IP addr related metadata issues are 100% real though...signal's SMS phase-out is a great distraction from that tbh

@GiulioFranco2 @signalapp yes but they're a non profit so they have no reason to sell your data cause they're a service powered by donations not a product from a for-profit company

@GiulioFranco2 @ExplorerRocha @signalapp Yeah, the open source server mostly helps spinning a complete fork of the service if it one day goes down. But Signal isn't designed to have small silos of users (think Mumble), as that makes very little sense nowadays.

Set up Android Messages for SMS/RCE with @signalapp separated over the weekend. What a terrible user experience. Why on earth Signal threw out the best user experience is beyond my understanding and #privacy was not improved with this setup.

@nonstandardrep @signalapp Google Messages now supports end-to-end encryption if when you go into Settings > Chat Features > Enable Chat Features. This turns it into an OTT service via RCS so long as both sender and receiver have this. Apparently they're soft-launching encrypted group messages as well.
