@signalapp This was interesting to see what costs are like for a non-profit. I did not know that was Signal's structure. A per-account cost would be useful, too.

@signalapp Also remember that as with all US non-profits, Signal's tax filings are public. So you can see another (if less up to date) breakdown of their expenditures at https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824506840/202212729349301631/full :)

@signalapp This toot needs a #privacy hashtag.

@signalapp how about an ability to assign a username so we don't have to link phone numbers?

@signalapp Donated!

@signalapp this is truly an incredible post. Thank you for sharing!

@signalapp @Gargron I am really happy that they are so forthcoming about the economic reality of running something like Signal.

However I wish they would be even more open about it, say by adding an optional yearly $10 subscription, which does nothing functionally, aside perhaps adding a little star to your profile or something. I would happily help pay the bills, given the privacy promises they have a history of showing.

@signalapp

Signal is great, but I wish it was decentralized and didn't require a phone number to work - there must be other ways to stop spam.

It's also great to find out how much the service costs.

@signalapp I shall contribute at the end of the month when I get paid.

@signalapp

Trying to raise funds from privacy-oriented folks w/o a single anonymous payment option ? Strange.

Maybe Signal could add those Tor-blocker morons over at http://paysafecard.com/en

They should be good enough for payment processing.

@signalapp
To everyone at Signal, thanks for all your hard work!

@signalapp @nullagent I’d argue you should charge for voice and video calls.

I’d also love to see a guide for what a reasonable donation is. I actually use signal very rarely, launching the app less than once a week (just not many contacts use it). What’s a reasonable monthly donation from me?

@signalapp

Ich bin auch schon länger dabei. Ich hoffe es kommen demnächst neue Funktionen wie z. B. Kanäle in Gruppen.

@signalapp I donate every month. Signal is awesome - I got most friends on it, so now WhatsApp is just for randoms/clubs.
Everyone should pay a bit to protect against too much data power getting into the hands of a few big players.
#thegreathack and #TheSocialDilemma show how badly it can go wrong.

@signalapp donated!
