> This is why Signal needs to decentralise

They have been building a walled garden for a decade. They talk about "market": they want to make Signal profitable.

Right now they live off donations (including mine) and I won't donate if they commercialize. Also, there's no easy way to monetize on users without ads, and I'm pretty sure signal users are one of the last demographics to fall for "privacy preserving ads".
