@signalapp@mastodon.world I think honestly the official Signal chat was the slippery slope here. If it weren't for this chat, you could simply say that there will never be a Signal chat with Signal and every chat with Signal on the app is phishing.

@signalapp@mastodon.world Nobody is XMPP, so we can't very well expect anyone to impersonate them. Yet another advantage of the XMPP protocol. Everyone is glowing until proven innocent!

@signalapp@mastodon.world Avoid getting spam messages entirely by setting "Who can find me by phone number" to "Nobody". It's under settings > privacy > phone number.

@signalapp@mastodon.world I hope you support some kind of optional verification in Keyoxide style. E.g. "this Signal account verified they control this Mastodon account and this website", but with better wording so people don't just set up lookalike accounts and websites, but it still works to deter impersonation. The main reason I use Keyoxide is because I got impersonated in Wordpress.org blogs (which do not provide any kind of authentication). AFAIK the only way to prevent that in that platform is using PGP signed messages, which are cumbersome, or using plugins that require login, which are annoying.

@signalapp@mastodon.world next step - enable `Settings → Account → Registration Lock` by default. Without it you don't own your signal account and all of this "safety" and "privacy" talk is pointless.

@signalapp@mastodon.world Please add the option to change someone’s profile picture even when they’re not in your contacts or are hiding their phone number. So like the nickname feature but for the profile picture. Alternatively the option to link a signal contact to a contact in your phone contacts. Without needing to use phone numbers that is.

@signalapp@mastodon.world The new "Name not verified" is a bit strange in a group chat for personal notes that I only use for myself and have been for months. Could you remove from those?

@signalapp@mastodon.world scammers on signal?? no! not possible!, signal requires a phone number to sign up which is absolutely impossible for scammers to get!!!

@signalapp@mastodon.world so, you go into "some of our users are really that incredible stupid" mode mainly because some german politician are really that incredible stupid. I am so embarresed by this and deeply sorry for the lost of trust you guys gained in media in press, based on the "hurr di durr" behaviour of those ... humans.

@signalapp@mastodon.world next you need to address your most embarrassing own goal: the PIN reminder.

@signalapp@mastodon.world That will not be effective. This is way not IN YOUR FACE enough and on many cases will still feel not out of bounds enough for people. My suggestion: Look at the chat to a new account from me in the second image. The client would locally substring match for certain security related keywords in the first 20 messages that are not deleted.

@signalapp@mastodon.world I just want to ask: Will Signal comply with Canada authorities or remove app from Canada app stores if the C-22 bill will be implemented in Canada? https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/C-22/first-reading
