Announcement! Signal is refreshing our board as we grow. We’re delighted to welcome Katherine Maher, Amba Kak, and Jay Sullivan as Signal’s new Directors. Learn more here: https://signalfoundation.org/
In 2020, Signal bootstrapped a small board, drawing on people close to Signal or directly involved. We are grateful to Moxie, Brian, and Meredith for working during this phase to grow and advise Signal. Meredith and Brian will remain on the Board for an interim period, before stepping off to focus on their leadership duties–Meredith as Signal’s President, and Brian staying on as Signal’s CEO, following a search.
@signalapp What do directors do?
@signalapp I don’t see a watch app here, can I have my donation back?
@signalapp I'm a fan of each of these new board members! 🤩
I'm increasingly and increasingly more optimistic about Signal's future! 🌱
@signalapp I haven't done my research, but Jay's track record of working in high-ranking positions at companies like Twitter and Facebook is a weird look for Signal, a foundation that claims to oppose the practices of exactly those tech giants.
@signalapp 1) Introduce crypto bullshit into your app to make a quick buck amid widespread community backlash. 2) Abandon widespread adoption of your platform by killing SMS support in favor of shoehorning ridiculous fluff nobody asked for or uses like stories. 3) Refuse to elaborate. 4) Leave.
Thanks to the SMS decision, I've gone from my family and close friends using Signal down to one single friend I barely talk to using it, and it's even unnecessarily inconvenient for me now too. Thanks.
