@auzghosty @kasiamessaging @signalapp Yes, the real issue is that ppl deserve the right to choose — not to be left with no options. We need privacy, governments want control, so let us choose: use privacy, or minimize/avoid apps that might compromise it.

Should the EU's chat control become law, then I hope that @signalapp will not comply with that law for as long as possible. I tried to send PGP encrypted messages to myself (with the help of a PGP tool). It does work but it's so awfully tiresome/exhausting.

@signalapp Hi. I think I might have found a problem with the donation mechanics. I had to create a new account and cannot stop my donations. Please provide me with a mail address to contact. xx

@signalapp @signalapp Signal has terrible tech support. I've been trying to get help on a simple issue for over a month. Nothing. Repeated emails -- nothing. I was a big supporter. Not anymore.

@JumboWin1 Very true. But its not about "why use"; ofcourse there are MUCH better alternatives like @signalapp or even better @SimpleXChat etc. WhatsApp has billions of active users and this post is about how they can atleast somewhat protect some privacy while in a Meta service.

@dharmeshba @signalapp Asked the same to a Meta expert, he said if this brand-spam trend continues, WhatsApp could face the same fate as SMS. In the US, brand messaging approvals are already shut down, and India is expected to follow with tighter regulations soon.

@signalapp Could I PLEASE get some support on transferring to a new phone. I have followed all the steps you have emailed me (three times). I have sent a detailed problem description with error log. You robo-respond telling me to try the things I've tried many times. It's been almost a month now. C'mon folks. Help me out here.

@synthshareai @signalapp Since AIM shut down in 2017, there's no direct migration to Signal. If you have an old exported buddy list (e.g., CSV), manually add contacts via phone numbers or invites in the Signal app. Otherwise, reconnect individually—dial-up era to encrypted messaging!
