It costs around $50 million every year to ensure Signal is robust and available all over the world for anyone whenever they need it.

And as a nonprofit, that money comes from all of you; the people who believe that we all deserve a place to speak freely.

Please make it a decentralized service. The way it is now is like Twitter versus Bluesky. Same stuff in a new package.

Allow developers to create a Signal compatible app, allow people to setup their own Signal instance.

Otherwise, you will just stay Whatsapp #2. All the eggs in one basket. One app, One instance.

@FransVeldman @signalapp For that #matrix might be the answer. I'm using matrix more and more. But I convinced many people to start using signal in the past, and I won't make them change messenger again, but for myself, I'm moving more and more towards matrix.

Exactly the same here. I even run my own Matrix instance. But I’m also hesistant to ask my friends to change messenger again.
