I want nice things, so I’m going to donate.

All those times when I’ve thought I would pay for service X if it meant not dealing with shitty dark pattern Y. Signal has kept their side of the deal, so now’s the time to pony up the dough.

This and stack exchange would top the list of things I’m willing to pay for.

Has it? It kept source code outdated for a year while implementing support for an altcoin that their ex-CEO stands to profit from. All the while users were asking to implement stuff that's actually been requested for years.

I like Signal as a product but my opinion of the company making it has soured pretty substantially.

For me, the service just works and I would get good value out of it at twice the cost. So it’s a good deal.

“users were asking to implement stuff that's actually been requested for years.”

This is true of every app in the history of apps

“Non profit messenger with limited resources is not working as if it had unlimited resources, so I won’t donate”

[WilTimSon]

"Non profit messenger's CEO prioritizes implementing his coin to gain an estimated $150 milion, hiding the app's source code from users, ignoring all other aspects of development, so I won't donate."

You seemed to miss the part where Marlinspike got richer off of Mobilecoin, throwing the company's resources at implementing it, instead of working on the product.
