    @IanColdwater @signalapp Feels like someone made a decision to be "hard down" while scaling up. Not that it's a bad call at all. Just would love to know why :-) congrats to all @signalapp

    @fideChinedu @signalapp LOL! None profit, they don't have the funds that others have. For them to fix it and learn from it, I'm down with them.

    @signalapp See if you could make the service distributed. So that we can not only donate our money but our computer. Signal doesn't necessary to be a Batman, let us join u.

    @signalapp Probably down to allow FBI and CIA to install monitoring software to track all the alt right MAGAs that are plotting online using their service. MAGA isn't very smart

    @fideChinedu @signalapp It's a free non profit service. If you want better results, give them money.

    Ben Palmer (@bpalms9600) reported

    @sn80 @signalapp Of course. My point is that when people enjoy a service, they will be motivated to keep it alive.

    @signalapp is the issue with access & sending messages still open? Few of my friends seem to be receiving messages but their response is not coming thru?

    quarantine vibes (@bjtinnyc) reported

    @EWDurbin @IanColdwater @signalapp The platform is entirely open source, this wasn’t a malicious 3rd party, it was simply a technical load issue from a 5x increase of users in the space of a week.

    @signalapp Looking forward to the wrietup on the details and some transparency that caused the outage. No doubt it was due to the stress of new user signups, but why 40 hours to restore service?

    Nicolas Garcia (@nicolasgrcia) reported

    @signalapp On iOS in France, the service is back to normal since at least 12h, thanks! 2 years that I am with your company. I no longer have #WhatsApp, #Facebook and #Messenger.

    @signalapp ok ok this is a little excessive for just doing the bare minimum to provide your service uninterrupted, which was not happening.

    @CitizenCitizenk @signalapp would be great if every user could at least donate $1 per month that would be enough to make Signal have top-level server infrastructure, but thats not realistic since not everyone can donate so we may need some help from @elonmusk since he is recommending its use
