A reminder that Signal will never reach out to you proactively, never send you a Signal message, and never ask for your verification code. The only way to correspond with Signal is via email (support@signal.org) or the Signal Support Center (support.signal.org).
@signalapp And the app form within the application itself, I suppose πŸ˜…

@x_cli To be fair, it has been a couple years since they've used it so they've probably forgotten it exists. 😏 Or maybe they just stopped sending them to me because I archived it or started a monthly donation? 🀷

It is a one-way message, though, so "correspond" would be a stretch.

We're just joshing you, @signalapp :)

@zimzat @signalapp To be fair, I wrote to security@signal.org about a conference I was giving on the metadata protection in Signal and I received no response either πŸ˜… 
@signalapp Help, Signal is corresponding with me via Fedi, is this a phishing attempt?
@signalapp wait, is this a scam?
@signalapp so this system is dead?
@signalapp Wait, because like others I need to make sure - is this a scam?
@ppaluchowski64 @signalapp NO that is official chat to spread the features

@signalapp

signal.org. 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

Ouch. At least you have DKIM.

@signalapp

Signal will never slide into your DMs

Why even live? 😭

@signalapp
The signal team are the only folks i would gladly invite into my DMs. But sadly, or happily, i dunno, their ethics are at too high of a level to do such a thing....

Keep on being awesome Signal! β™₯οΈπŸ‘

@signalapp So far, it's looking like Signal also will never release an app on phones that aren't Android or iPhone. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
@signalapp but what is your stance on hurting and lying to us? saying goodbye or making us cry? deserting us or running around?
@signalapp Then why do you demand a #PhoneNumber in the first place?
@signalapp Awesome, finally I can contact signal on https://delta.chat !

@signalapp you are lying by omnission and technicality because why else do you demand a #PhoneNumber and mandate users to grant access to a devices' camera just to let them use more than the one device they currently use?

  • You could've easily allowed either importing the QR-Code or offered a #Pubkey-ID to type in. But you chose neither…

My [reservations](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) and [criticism](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862595629371002) re: #Signal are not just valid, but the reality is *even worse than I thought*: - The fact that @signalapp@mastodon.world requires not only their shitty #Android #App, and a #PhoneNumber but literally won't allow people to use their shitty #Desktop-App unless they have an Android device with a camera pointed at it makes it utterly unuseable for certain users *who don't have a fucking #camera in their Android*… Seriously, do they expect folks to deal with that shit? - It's already worse in terms of #UX than #telegram and #discord and that too makes #XMPP+#OMEMO clients like @monocles@monocles.social / #monoclesChat & @gajim@fosstodon.org / #gajim easier and faster to onboard #TechIlliterates onto. - Whichever asshole decided that a *replacement for #SMS* should mandate #PII like a #PhoneNumber & not be natively cross-platform should be banned from doing any #tech in their life. Trying to circumvent this shit and helping folks with it makes me so fucking angry that I'm now explicitly refusing to support it! FIX THAT SHIT, @Mer__edith@mastodon.world, and if it means you need to kick some devs in their crouch then consider this a necessary *"investment"*… #sarcasm #TechSupport #TapesFromTechSupport #Enshittifucation #SignalSucks #TelegramSucks #Messengers

Signal selected Google Gmail as their email provider.

Consider asking for a public PGP encryption key if you are concerned about Google accessing the content of your message, this can provide end-to-end encryption of the message content but the metadata will be available to Google.

Signal: Please publish a key on your website.
