  • I agree with that, but at least we know how they’re funded (that and Threema Enterprise). The donation-only approach for Signal has led to lots of users being locked out for months due to crashes on launch (I was one of them) due to minimal dev resources. A look at the GitHub Issues board for iOS shows a similar issue, except they can’t delete and start over. They’re literally stuck. Here’s just a few that make their way to GitHub: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/5536 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/5534 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/5481 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/5475

  • jami.net and tox.chat sort of being the way skype originally was.

  • jami-cli
