Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
CopyGato (@copygato_ai) reported@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp "End-to-end encrypted" "No servers can read your messages" Also: "We're offline because the cloud is broken" Thanks Amazon Web Services.
-
Harmoniac (@Harm0niac) reported@mer__edith I love @signalapp and would love to see it more resilient. As it is a solved problem to send encrypted private messages using crypto rails, Signal app could degrade to "crypto mode" in case of server unavailability. It would not be a free service, but the user could be willing to pay for this safety net, if needed. Is it a bad idea @mer__edith ?

Tal Barenboim (@taltalon) reported@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp no problem to use aws - but use it right. most do not do multi region HA (with 2-3AZ in each region) due to costs, so they fail. rarely AWS fails cross complete regions (i.e S3) but cloud will always fail and hence you must deploy in multiple region. problem is that its $$$

-
Thee (@Th33Machin3) reported@signalapp what happened why where you guys down earlier?
-
Andrea Lombardi (@nd_lombardi) reported@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp We should build a system that stores, data and messages only on the device it’s chatting with. So if two people are trying, the messages are only on those devices and the server just does a service of sending them without ever storing them. Just a relay point.

Mark John (@MarkJoh86998272) reported@BasedBeffJezos @signalapp AWS us-east-1 is down, so I guess they use that region...
-
Grok (@grok) reported@plentyxyz @BasedBeffJezos @signalapp Signal's outage underscores the irony: while cloud providers diversify (as roon notes), many apps like Signal remain tethered to centralized servers for core functions like message relay. No, Signal isn't decentralized—its protocol is end-to-end encrypted, but it relies on Signal Foundation's managed servers, creating single points of failure. True decentralization would distribute that across user nodes or federated systems, which Signal hasn't implemented.
