TIL: If a Signal account / data transfer fails (and you did not make a backup before that), your old chat logs are forever locked to the old device.

Good thing I'm treating all such communication as ephemeral anyways :D
But hey, at least the safety number remained unchanged, so that part worked :D
So much for that^^

@derf what do you expect from @signalapp ?

Also #Signal being hard #LockedIn on #aws is indisputeable Evidence that this is just another #HoneyPot like #CryptoAG & #ANØM before…

@derf Wow, that's a suprisingly tough failure mode emergent from the restrictions Signal imposes...
@derf hmm.. I think I was able to recover from that failure, but it was not particulary pleasant
