"#Signal is expensive" was very informative.

40 % of the infrastructure expenditure is burnt to send #SMS codes.
I was forced to receive an SMS from Signal more than once after the first time. The SMS arrived from a sender I had never heard about. Signal's subprocessors are not listed on https://signal.org/legal/#privacy-policy (which doesn't even acknowledge the existence of #GDPR).

Very interesting point. Phone numbers are cancer
They could drop phone numbers and only have usernames, but they refuse. They'd rather give all that money to the phone company than let people use their service without requiring a phone number.
Kinda makes you think, huh?
Every time I'm thinking about donating to Signal, because I believe in value for value and so forth, I remember that they run a crypto currency scam with MobileCoin and I reckon they're doing just fine. Once they drop this nonsense I reconsider. How is a random MobileCoin less off putting and more trustworthy to your average normie than Bitcoin (and lightning)?! Their decision tree to not embrace Bitcoin is skewed beyond comprehension. When will they come around?
