@signalapp Top! Keep it going. Continuate così!

costalfy@framapiaf.org

@signalapp @KazukyAkayashi Thank you, but which cloud service do you use?

hellstabber@defcon.social

@signalapp

Is there audio streaming in screen sharing?

movie2468@mastodon.social

@signalapp That's cool, but it doesn't seem like they have a valid support line, so good luck if it doesn't work!

@signalapp Adding more and more features can dilute the value of an app.

disorderlyf@todon.eu

@lexinova @signalapp Just to clarify, you're on about the use of Cloudflare?

lexinova@cyberplace.social

@disorderlyf @signalapp the fact they only use AWS, Gcloud and Azure, with no other server anywhere else, so a simple order from an orange nazi pedophile can stop the whole network with no other emergency backup.

disorderlyf@todon.eu

@lexinova @signalapp The use of GCloud and Azure was something I hadn't heard about before. The implications are not great.

cappyjax@mastodon.social

@AndrewRiddell1 @signalapp this feature has been there for almost 2 years now, they simply bumped up how many people can join a call from 50 to 75.

jackemled@furry.engineer

@costalfy @signalapp @KazukyAkayashi I think they use Amazon for hosting.

lexinova@cyberplace.social

@disorderlyf @signalapp and when put in front of the issue their CEO lied it was impossible to use something else ... when dozen of FOSS software do the "impossible thing" simply telling community we won't we are NAZI and won't prevent our Nazi to cut us if necessary.

They don't care about their user

@AndrewRiddell1 @signalapp Tell that to those Delta Chat fans that think that adding a feature that adds so much complexity is fun and expected of a chat app.

(a sandboxed JavaScript-based app platform, because I guess no one ever managed to find a sandbox escape vulnerability on a browser right? so let's add it to an app where the risks of a cryptographic key leaking can undermine the entire app! so FUN!)

qgustavor@urusai.social

@signalapp Let's be serious here: you need urgently to publish somewhere (a blog post, here on Mastodon) about what's your plan in case something bad happens in the USA.

From "what if the government asks permanent access to Signal servers to store user metadata and encrypted messages (which they will surely store in the hope to decrypt later in case someone finds a way to do so)" to "what if the USA's government shut down the entire service". What's your plan? People need to know that. Things are escalating too fast for people to ignore.

Stay away with that centralized UᛇᛇA-shit.

@signalapp now if I only I HAD even close to that number of people on signal..

@signalapp Signal IMO has bad security because when someone decides they are not interested in an overpriced, underperforming service of "phone number" and stops using their SIM, they cannot deregister the number from Signal and the new owner of the number either can hijack their Signal account, or people may be blocked from using newly purchased SIMs with Signal.

Also, authoritarian regimes IMO can temporarily transfer a number into a provider's internal SIM in order to hijack a Signal account and impersonate a dissident against another dissident, facilitating abduction, torture and murder.

I feel

c o n t e m p t

towards Signal when it is designed this way.

gettie@fedi.catto.garden

@clock also, here's a simple problem i had to face. i lost access to my phone number and since the signal account is tied to that specific phone number, i can't use the account anymore.
@signalapp

opensourceyllen@mastodon.social

@signalapp I wonder how many does WhatsApp allow

buckrogers1965@techhub.social

@clock @signalapp

Is signal open source? Can't someone fork the code and change it to be pure peer to peer over onion routing to set up credentials?

kkarhan@infosec.space

@signalapp great, now you'll increase your #VCmoneyBurningParty's wastefulness whilst adressing 0 Issues already raised about #Signal!
