@signalapp Menu Doesn’t go away. Useless feature. There are other way more important issues with signal than wasting time and resources on features like stories 😞

@signalapp Perhaps those who complain about removal of SMS service from #SignalApp do not understand the irony: SMS stands for "Short Messaging Service" NOT "Secure Messaging Service". In fact it is the most unsecure method of text communication.

@donaldtheuugeek @signalapp It's getting usernames and stories... and dropping sms... sounds like they wanna be an encrypted social media service

@signalapp SMS support is responsible for a large number of Signal users - it's the easy selling point to convince people to try it. This is a spectacularly terrible move. Have you forgotten that all security exists on a spectrum of convenience vs security?

@geotechland @signalapp Hello, if you need help or any kinds of support write cyberskype_mood on Instagram him helped me fix my account this evening and I promise to post testimony here.

@signalapp Hello signal. In Iran, we cannot receive a text message that contains the confirmation code to enter Signal. Because the signal activation code has been blocked by the government of Iran and SIM card operators. Do you have a solution to this problem?

@signalapp is slow, and keeps losing my messages in various ways (like, messages sent on one device show up as "delivery issue" on another, or messages are just gone). I appreciate the open source+security, but I'm not sure it's worth the many bugs. Does anyone have alternatives?

@MiMikuChair @joinmastodon @signalapp Correction: You can use it from the browser, it's just really hidden on their website and they should really fix that.

@signalapp @signalapp all the reasons you mention for the change sound like user comprehension issues. why not let those users disable sms and use another app?

@Civis_Nacho @hortstu @signalapp pretty sure the phone number is gonna be contained in the subpoena the IP addr related metadata issues are 100% real though...signal's SMS phase-out is a great distraction from that tbh

@signalapp I really wish yall would reconsider stopping support for SMS. Having SMS appear in Signal app has allowed me personally to bring several new customers to your service.

@mer__edith Terrible idea to get rid of the SMS capabilities. Having both SMS and encrypted MMS in one app is the best feature @signalapp has to offer.

If you want a secure, reliable, cross-platform, internationally available messaging service that doesn't treat you as the product why not give @signalapp a try?

@ibeardslee @layman_salafee @signalapp Oh I thought 'by forcing use of another app for messaging' was accusing Signal of demanding to use Signal itself to send messages (as opposed to fixing societal issues of surveillance capitalistic companies). You were talking about SMSs.

@signalapp What a terrible business decision. Now I will have to adopt another messaging app. I'm not going to hound every single contact to download signal.

It kind of makes me wonder if a social media service with the kind of serious take on privacy and data protection that companies such as @signalapp and @ProtonPrivacy have is even attainable. What would that even look like?
