@Wellthisisawkw6 @signalapp Read up on what end-to-end encryption means, I think you're lacking some key info about Signal. Or you're just here trying to promote your own messaging service, in which case, nice try.

@MikeCoxCowes @signalapp I've been using this for a few years and honestly this is the first hiccup I've seen that affected service, maybe I've been lucky, but I'm a daily user. I'm fact I was responding to a message when I got this notification...

2. @signalapp also has backups and restore, but you cannot restore your chat history between operating systems. Which is ******* terrible because you completely lose your chat history. Family group that has kids photo's and stuff? Gone. Messages to friends about stuff? Gone.

@signalapp update : usually when there are problems, I get a notification in *red*, "not sent". Today, nothing. But now I'll now : One check mark : sent to Signal's central servers. (that's what I had). Two check marks : received by the person's device. (I didn't have the second one)

@signalapp Thanks for your efforts guys! However it is still not working for me. I want to send messages in a group chat but it's been 10min since I hit the Send button, and Signal hasn't sent it :/

@Soft_Bred @session_app @signalapp Telegram is spookier than WhatsApp. But keep using a half-proprietary, hardly encrypted "service" that pulls people in by the premise of privacy and anonymity on the basis of it's claims. Even it's E2EE chats use an experimental encryption protocol.

@basierterFlo @cskama @signalapp The point was, it’s okay to have down time, but signal needs to tell its users what happened and how they’re fixing it in order to establish trust.

@honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us legal requirement for back doors, a sustained ddos.. federation.

(@cskama) reported
@basierterFlo @signalapp From their tweet it sound like there was a single outage that took the whole service down. I don't remember the last time Whatsapp was down for this long (~6hrs), but obviously outages can still happen in a replicated setting due to networks partitions etc.

@Snowden @signalapp @Facebook Signal is overrated, and as shown by this global outage its just another unsafe cloud based solution. We need to go back to p2p and self hosted alternatives. (Matrix maybe?)

@digitaleJedi @signalapp What is happening? On mine, the “delivered” checkmark is specifically not working. I get “delivered” and “seen” once contacts open a message but not “delivered” when they have it in their inbox but haven’t opened it yet

@ducheng0 @signalapp I think @session_app is better. It's anonymous and private. The problem is the same: users.

@session_app @signalapp @session_app is never down due to its decentralized, onion routed architecture powered by the ox $OXEN

@WelzheimerPirat @signalapp @signalappde On mine the “delivered” checkbox is specifically not working. Once my contacts open the message I get “delivered” and “seen” check marks but never just “delivered”. Is that not working for you either?

@soumyacpl @signalapp That's implicit in my case. NON SMS messages were not working in already established groups.

@dunkaroosdotjpg @signalapp Same here. Feels like messages sent while it was out are kinda stuck and it's blocking new ones... Tried to delete them, did kit work... Perfectly working with people I didn't try to reach du while thé app was down, not in the conversations with pending messages...

Lily
(@lily_prismatic) reported
@signalapp Outgoing message delivered checkbox is not working for me on sent messages. I’ve confirmed via SMS that my contacts see my message in their Signal inbox, but it doesn’t show me just the “delivered” checkbox. Once they open it it shows “delivered” and “seen”.

Well, this is awkward
(@Wellthisisawkw6) reported
@mariam_zakarian @signalapp WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption as well. I don't have my own messaging service and would promote messaging systems independent of a specific messaging service, because I don't like monopolistic messaging services like Signal and Whatsapp
