Man, does everything need likes, hearts, stories and other unnecessary baggage? I am happy with just one spartan, minimalist safe messaging app that does not have any of these and I'm happy to pay for it as well.
Assuming you're not lying, you are in the mass minority and I hope you do donate; the truth is Moxy has said in the past that it's completely funded as of right now and for the immediate foreseeable future due to the foundation donations.
But Meredith Whittaker (ex google) just took Moxy's role and has given an interview on how things will be funded moving forward, which ultimately relies on the small donation model spread from it's userbase, so I have and will continue to donate and I hope you do as she expresses very well in that interview [0]: privacy by default is getting rarer if not completely gone besides Signal due to most tech corps business models and that has dire implications.
>> people like stupid bullshit
Agreed, but if that helps bring in more possible donations than it's worth it; personally< i have never had any social media (assuming HN isn't) aside from a reddit account but these things are seen and UX enhancements from traditional platforms so hopefully we some significant migration
Yeah. For instance I don't care about encryption at all, it's a shit feature with no benefits. So couldn't they just remove that useless feature and focus on adding telegram's stickers in?
