 @signalapp Just got my entire family to begin using Signal and move away from other apps.  @signalapp Thank you for maintaining it! I'm linking your donation page so others can thank you with money as well. https://signal.org/donate/  @signalapp Thank you for making Signal and keeping silly conversations away from Meta. 💙 Cc. @me 😇 @signalapp Happy to donate monthly! If anyone doesn't know, you can securely donate one-time or monthly right from the Signal app. Signal Settings > Donate to Signal  @signalapp Keep up the great work while I will continue to support you via a monthly recurring subscription! 💪🏻 @signalapp thanks for all the work, couldn’t live without it since 2014. 10 years already! 🎈 @signalapp I got my family to switch over this year from Telegram after the attack on Signal from Durov, his arrest and the news that followed, and general improvements to Signal that made it easier for family members to "just use" it. Looking forward to the cloud backups feature to erase more of the gap between signal and other chat apps, but it's been working great so far for us! 💙  @signalapp Thank you for keeping the service up and running ❤️ We're not even close in numbers but the most important thing is doing it because you love it :fediverse: @signalapp As Signal is popping up on my feed at the moment, are there any good 'technical' reasons for using Signal over Threema (currently used)? (Not interested in whether somebody may/not be willing to pay)  @motiondetected  @motiondetected @signalapp I am using both and miss message editing, deleting after sending and deletion after x amount of time in threema. Not using any of the (video) call features but I guess it's better on signal as well. Better and faster security implementation. Signal created the Signal protocol and implemented quantum protection  @signalapp Thank you for making such a good app, it's hard to market privacy focused apps like yours but you've done it in a really good way and gotten many users to switch (including me). Keep up the good work 💙 @signalapp I am happy to support Signal every month. Thank you all for the hard work you put in to keep Signal going strong! @signalapp I used to recommend Signal to pretty much everyone and a few actually installed it. However since dropping the SMS feature pretty much all of them have dropped it, including IT professionals. The value proposition for the majority of users is just not there and I can no longer recommend it. Since most mobile devices periodically recommend uninstalling unused applications, most people uninstall Signal. For sentimental reasons, I changed the settings to not delete it.  @ilyess @signalapp true, but the value proposition was that, occasionally a correspondent _would_ have it and they'd get end-to-end encryption without doing anything special. As soon as I tell someone they have to use two messaging apps and keep track of who's on which, their eyes glaze over. One model has a snowball growth effect. The other has diminishing returns. I have a tough time convincing IT professionals, and it hurts my credibility with everyone else, so I can't recommend it now. @signalapp I used to have an account with you guys when you first came to market. What are the odds that it still exists?  @depressivehacks @signalapp very low I reckon. A few years ago, accounts were deleted after a year of inactivity. I’m not sure how it works now @signalapp Hope you've been having a good time over the holidays - thank you for all your work 💙  @signalapp  @signalapp Many Thanks for all the work you do to ensure freedom of expression around the world 💚 @signalapp went from about three contacts on signal at the beginning of this year to now over twenty! some thanks to mastodon, others to grinder, and a few friends from irl! here’s to many more!   @signalapp thank you! A happy monthly donor here. I love introducing the app to new people. My primary mode of communication with friends and loved ones. @signalapp and thank you for using confidential computing with strong attestation. @signalapp No, thank YOU from all of us using Signal. You’ve made a profound impact on countless lives, setting a shining example of responsible, sustainable, and private communication. I genuinely hope your journey continues to be filled with growth and prosperity. Here’s to another year of solid, end-to-end encrypted progress! 🥂  @signalapp once I switched a friend that knew nothing about tech to Signal and they liked it for regular user reasons and performance. Signal is actually nice, not just secure. |
