Signal

By being transparent about Signal, we also hope to shed light on the industry. We show how expensive the development of high- availability consumer tech is & by implication the massive profitability of the surveillance business model underwriting most tech.

We also believe it is imperative to build alternatives to the current tech ecosystem & its reliance on surveillance. And building these alternatives requires understanding the political economy of the industry, so we don’t mistake an elegant idea for a realistic possibility.

If you rely on Signal, if you believe in what we’re doing, or if you want to support tech done differently, please donate to support our work.

@signalapp You'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you added a recurring annual donation in the app. I'm happy to donate $5-10/year but $60/year (the current minimum donation amount) is way too high for something barely anyone I know actually uses.

@AudraTran @signalapp
Yeah, $60 a year seems like "power user" money. I basically use it as a substitute text messaging app with a small group of people.

@AudraTran @signalapp I believe you are mistaken. At least in my app, donations of 5 swiss francs (about 5 dollars) can be made.

@Depemig $5/mo or $60/year. I'm talking about $5/yr.

@signalapp
I'd like to, but I've got nothing out of the possibilities of donation.

@signalapp Thanks for what you are doing. I use to donate monthly, but for quite a long time now, I still get an error about my CVC being wrong. And it's not. Either for one-shot donations or monthly ones. Fix that and I *can* literally donate again... (and reintroduce SMS within the app, which counts even more since Google is ending support of AOSP SMS app, and I'd be glad to donate even more 🙏)
