Bob BrandtJust a reminder that if you use Signal with any frequency, it would be good of you to make a donation to them. You can do so through the app. They’re a nonprofit, not backed by a tech giant like WhatsApp is (Meta), which is of course part of the appeal.
Stefan Scholl@bobdeschot is their salary typical for US American non-profits?

InfoRaven@bobdeschot I love Signal so much that I do donate monthly. It's the single most important program I use. So handy! So many features!
Ilona Werner@bobdeschot vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Kleine, aber regelmäßige Spende eingerichtet ✅️

Doing it that way doesn't get you a badge in your Signal app UI. Thankfully, maybe, for privacy. ;-)
Frans Veldman ⁱ ᵃᵐ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶠᵃ🚩I will do so as soon as they become decentralized and open up their protocol so others can write Signal compatible apps too.
So far it is a single instance single app infrastructure, designed to lock you up into yet another messenger.
Dave Mangot@FransVeldman @bobdeschot many of us know you're being deliberately obscure with your words so they will fit your very specific definition of "open", but for everyone else...
GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)@FransVeldman @bobdeschot What a delightfully portable molehill to stake your wallet on.
