Edit: just looked closer and noticed that this is almost entirely the executive team. Duh. Obviously execs are overpaid as hell but for the size of Signal and the average exec pay this is hardly surprising


Tbh I'd much rather the money go to the employees than to shady stakeholders/investors

I feel like the takeaway here is that this is how much people SHOULD be getting paid and most of the time the rest is getting siphoned off by the capital class

  • talk shit about a bad group chat app

  • angry group chat descends on shittalking

  • none of them have background information on Signal leaking metadata and even the entire message contents in some cases

  • mindless NGO executive worship

  • everyone clarifies they don't value their privacy in the first place

We will be doing this again next week. It's lovely. Nobody seems to understand the downside of demonstrating an entire community has zero combined expertise by demanding spoon-fed information instantly. Lacking any sources that could criticize Signal.

Do you think it could be related to sanitizing your websites with "anti-disinformation" strategies lifted directly from the people who spy on you & your family? No, no, that's too far out. Inductive reasoning is impossible. You know this.
