Wohooo! Congratulations, and well done to everyone involved!

Thank you devs, thank you designers, thank you translators, thank you bug reporters, thank you QA people, thank you feature suggesters, thank you money donators, thank you evangelists, thank you documenters, thank you people working tirelessly in the background with keeping up the websites and communication channels and schedules and meetings and brewing coffee and everything else that's needed for #Gnome to be all that it is!

#Gnome WOO.. #Not !!

#Whut ..

..still no mouse driven, simple add a desktop App icon? till you learn this .. remain banished in the paleolithic, no deployment, till you you can demonstrate basic userland concepts . . . (without jammin' your mandatory 'efficiency' #BS work flow agenda down my neck, how the f___ do you know what I need?? You did not ask! ) .. so, its #KDE #XFCE #LXDE for me and my users.. who sometimes just ~ want~ it on the desktop.

#Seriously .. _____ off.

Congratulations on the big release! Any chance of sharing the video on #Peertube somewhere (preferably an official Gnome Peertube account)? :ablobcatattention:

Either way, thanks so much for all the hard work that went into this!

does it work on linux yet without creating a million sandboxes for itself and eventually running the system out of memory?

it's done this on everyplatform ive thrown it on.

one other thing: do i still need a phone # to sign up? i dont use a smartphone anymore.

thanky much :)

How will you ensure people don’t have a false sense of privacy, if an old Signal version will still show the phone number?

“Note that even once these features reach everyone, both you and the people you are chatting with on Signal will need to be using the most updated version of the app to take advantage of them.”

thanks 😍

This is really awesome 👏

This reminds me to push the donate button 😅☝️

will there also be a solution to use Signal while having no mobile phone at all?

Like its completely normal on Jabber/XMPP and Matrix?

it seems you have not publicly documented how the usernames feature works in terms of the back-end.

If the Feds subpoena Signal with a username, what data will they get from you? Will they get the user’s phone number? In reverse, if the Feds subpoena a phone number, will they get the associated username? What about one’s history of numbers/usernames?

hey @mollyim when can we see expect to these features in molly? thanks!

@signalapp

congratulations! 🎉

It was a long time coming, but we are all very glad it's finally here.

Wait, does this mean you finally don't announce to absolutely everyone who has my number that I just installed Signal?

Because for a privacy focused app, that always seemed like a gross violation of basic privacy.
