PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

Thanks for letting us know, but I do wonder whether that kind of information should be posted to @signalapp and not on its president's personal account.
in reply to scy

@scy @signalapp This. I first checked the app account and found nothing, then I just happened to see Meredith's toot to learn the cause. This needs improvement.

Absolutely no offense meant, but maybe relying on Amazon (who are sort of antithetical to everything Signal stands for) for anything isn't the greatest of ideas?

Keeping the service centralised (which can have some benefits when it comes to user experience) is a different story than having all your eggs in the same basket as half the internet.
in reply to Meredith Whittaker

I was expecting status.signal.org/ to show some sort of indication of there being an issue but it just says everything is working. It was my first port of call when I saw messages weren't sending for me.

Downdetector seems to provide a more realistic picture.

"Some" people is quite the understatement ... I hope your admins can switch us all over to another AWS region so we can use Signal again. (Yes, I am one of the "some" people affected and yes, it is causing real problems for me)

Or use x chat 😂🤣😂
He promotes x chat now (objectively)

DeltaChat is good but the problem here is not the Signal..
Signal wasn't the only one that had problems today.. these things happen rarely..

@wolfblade @adbenitez When Elon Musk says he doesn’t trust Signal, it means I made the right choice and will continue to use it 😀

Comment section is still Karen as fuck.

Down for some people, related to a major AWS outage - how do they come up with the conclusion that they are solely relying on AWS from just these two facts?
Good luck working on their first incident.

thanks for posting.

Related: why is this not showing on:
status.signal.org

i do not want to find this first thing on Social Media, also why is not @signalapp posting this as well?

in reply to Ivo Dujmović

@dujmovivo @signalapp Yep, the status page not showing the outage belongs in the category "You had ONE job!" What use is a status page that doesn't show the status correctly?
in reply to Timo Ollech

@dujmovivo @signalapp The app DID show a message after a while during the outage. But of course when the app cannot reach the servers it can't receive any message from them. That's why you have a status page that's independent from the actual service.

@mray what I can say from self-hosting a chatmail myself: it has +6k users and is running fine on a cheap ~5€ VPS
