Note that the problem may be on the Signal end. Their servers are a bit overloaded nowadays, what with everyone fleeing from Wassup.

I finally just got rid of it, just a bit too rough for my liking.

Signal for desktop will only allow you to see other Signal users - although you can use it for SMS on your phone, you will not be able to message anyone from the desktop app who is not a Signal user. Makes it unusable for me.
