Given #Signal 's current infrastructure issues, I started donating $5 a month to the Signal Technology Foundation non-profit behind it through my company's donation-matching platform so they will get $120 a year from me from now on.

Please donate with me

Infrastructure issues? Maybe if they let people run their own servers and distribute the app on competing app stores that might help them! just sayin....

@Chewie Probably, in the meantime I'm still using Signal so I donated.

And not Conversations? I thought it is very popular in Germany today (?)

I see! Maybe the issue with Conversations family adoption is that many family members are (still) on iphones 🤔

Interesting about Android-land-Germany! Of course, your statistics might be biased due to limited circles of communication :) My friends keep telling me I'm the only one they send SMS to these days (I have no messengers on phone). Kind of makes me feel special. 😋

It's definitely not perfect and I wish people jumped on Jami instead, for example. But it's still a massive improvement compared to Whatsapp. This is good stuff going on!

You're welcome. 😁
It usually boils down to the kind of contacts you have: average joe won't be able to contact you easily. Nor me. *sigh*

It's back online for me, I've been able to share messages with my family across the Atlantic again.

Should work; unfortunately as I see the xmpp bridge was abandoned a good while ago due to lack of interest.
