This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍
I’m not sure when and what you were trying to send but I use it since at least 7 years and never had anything like that, maybe you should give it another try someday 👍
Pictures and videos. Memes.
It’s not just me, everyone in the group chat of 8 people had the same issues. I won’t be giving Signal another chance.
Issues have been raised for years with no fixes
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4387 - closed but not fixed https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9747 - 3 years old and not fixed
There’s more but I cba to find the issues.
Our group chat sends a lot of video memes. If they don’t play correctly then they don’t want to use Signal. We moved away from Signal 2 weeks ago. We’re in no rush to try it again.
I can’t reproduce any of the issues you’re mentioning. Signal is the only messenger that consistently “just works” over the last few years.
Ok, good for you. That doesn’t change the fact that out of a group chat of 8 people, it happened to every one of us, it’s happened to others and they raised issues on GitHub, and no one in my group wants to use Signal anymore.
Or should I tell them “Xengi on Lemmy said it doesn’t happen to him so we must move back to Signal”?
Yes please go around tell people that. Everyone should know I said that. /s
No. Instead everyone is enjoying using Telegram far more than buggy Signal.
