Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Cyrus Stoller (@cyrusstoller) reported.@signalapp Do you have an ETA on when service will be restored?
-
Tarık Kranda (@tarikkranda) reported@signalapp No-one spends a penny for open source Signal's growth (free service with high security, no ads), but complains a lot in an outage. Just be patient for a short-while and go back to what is required to do in your offline hours.
-
Yasir Zargar (@islambaduk) reported@signalapp down?
-
Bacil Donovan Warren (@BacilDonovan) reported@disinthrallment @signalapp That, in fact, saves a lot of time and headache—early detection and *early notice* means fewer people sending in reports to people already busy trying to figure out and fix whatever went wrong.
-
Matsuko (@missmatsuko) reportedWhy doesn't SMS via @signalapp work when their servers are down? Shouldn't it work as long as the stock SMS app does? 🤔
-
Lucky225🍀 (@lucky225) reported.@signalapp down *sigh*
-
ScFrazer (@swisstfrazer) reported@signalapp Is the outage regional, or is it network wide?
-
UFO tofu (@stunt_nuts) reported@session_app @signalapp really poor taste to use their outage to promote your competing service. practice #hugops
-
Marcus Adams (@marcusdeanadams) reported@LBersee @GordonW09576304 @signalapp That was my first assumption because I was using it on desktop when it went down. I checked my phone and tried sending a message there over cell service to see if it was my home internet and finally got the explanation message in the mobile app.
-
Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported@BacilDonovan @signalapp A great deal of the determination of *what* is in order to find out *how severe* a problem is. It is no use notifying “there’s a problem” on every little blip, or on internal issues that don’t directly impact users. Plus you don’t pay for it, so you should cut them some slack.
-
Alex Cross (@VivicaGsy) reported@tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Yeah, I'm interested to learn about Session, and I'm all for kicking the bad guys when they're down. But... Signal and their team are not the bad guys, the exact opposite.
-
Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported@BacilDonovan @signalapp Sure, except because it’s software, someone, somewhere is *always* experiencing a problem. And the bigger concern is you rely on automation to do it, and the automation itself is also broken… and now you go from a reasonable delay to maybe no status update at all.
-
Joni "五毛" Kähärä (@kahara) reported@RealGlenMerlin @WorstAtRoutine @signalapp Sure, but is everything replicated across those providers so that nuking one of them off the map won't bring the service down?
-
Magda Abu-Fadil (@MagdaAbuFadil) reported@signalapp Can you specify where exactly? It would help users.
-
Disinthrallment (@disinthrallment) reported@BacilDonovan @signalapp I’ve never - not once - been interrupted while doing emergency engineering work by customer complaints that things are broken. Such a ridiculous management situation would be far worse than engineers determining to update the status page slightly slower than random Twits prefer.
