AT&T T-mobile was down, then Facebook messenger and WhatsApp, now Signal?! I’m not much of a tin foil hat kind of guy but this is getting uncanny.

https://status.signal.org/ says it's "up and running" but that is clearly not the case. I find that more concerning than the outage itself.

This has now changed to "Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible."

Seems to be back up again, ~15 min outage.

I am unable to send messages on it for the past 20 minutes.

Both for group settings and for DMs.

Coming from Australia, HN is timing out, and Google is throwing QUIC_PROTOOCOL_ERRORs. And that's after rebooting my phone to kick the 4G connection as best as I can, so I think the problems aren't quite last-mile.

Given the other comment about AT&T and FB, something's happened in Nebraska (figuratively) per https://xkcd.com/2347/, or, idk...?

At least HN is loading consistently now.

As of right now Signal is back up for me!
