    I never thought I would be SO put out by a comms channel being down. I understand they're fixing as fast as they can and I'm not mad at them but damn does a LOT of my daily interaction with people go over @signalapp! Poor techs there. So much for them getting a 3-day weekend.

    @elonmusk's favorite private messenger service @signalapp has been having problems all day long. "Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible." Been seeing that since something like noon ET today.

    @signalapp @elonmusk it'd be nice if Elon help support Signal after he sent the hords at them!

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @terribletension @signalapp you don't want someone to judge you for installing Signal (a non-issue), prioritize your privacy over reaching them and delete them from your phone's contact list. Or, use burner phone + SIM for Signal. Also, usernames that fix this problem are coming this year.

  • jchirak Jason Chirakan (@jchirak) reported

    @TheDesertLynx @signalapp Thx for the news. I thought it was under attack in a bad way. This is a good problem to have.

  • manicode Jim Manico (@manicode) reported

    @Scott_Helme @signalapp More than a fair point. I know you care about both privacy and security. What message service do you use/recommend?

  • onedavetorule Dave (@onedavetorule) reported

    @jtmajorx @signalapp Yeah I’ve been on signal for about 6 months and since they fixed some video call quality issues last year it’s been all good. It’s the newbies I’m worried about - I’ll just wait it out.

  • australia115 🤓 (@australia115) reported

    @signalapp Please give more frequent updates on outage.

  • conrad_hotdish conrad (@conrad_hotdish) reported

    @eliokhattar @signalapp yeah man I'm sure they considered that and also decided that leaving the entire service completely broken was actually worse

  • azonetm 🅳🅴🅽🆅🅴🆁 (@azonetm) reported

    @signalapp everyone suddenly came and caused a problem in this system. They saw that the gradual movement was better. Those who wanted to leave Whatsapp already had time.

  • sarathnam Sarath (@sarathnam) reported

    @signalapp Is messages send during initial stage of outage safe ?

  • seccentral seccentral (@seccentral) reported

    @ThatGuyFern @Rahulshrivstava @signalapp Been using it for years, since before it was called signal. this is the first time its service is down
