No-one deserves your donations, but that sounds like you're letting perfect get in the way of good. There are tons of things that speak for Signal. They made the whisper protocol and they consistently protect privacy where they can. I've used it for years (meaning I've actively generated costs for them without any revenue), and that qualifies as good for me.

Whoa, that's so toxic. I'm glad I switched my donation to Delta. Plus it just feels so much better to use. I don't have evidence for this but Signal *feels* just like an app right before it's sold off to a megacorp. I can't put my finger on it...

yeah you really have to be careful sometimes when you want to donate within the FOSS community. Like Hyprland or Kitty. I wouldn't give those dudes a dime.

Is that really the case? I work for a multi national FLOSS organisation but every additional country you want to hire from requires additional compliance overhead so in practice we generally hire from countries where we already have the legal setup to employee people. How big an org is Signal?
