Most importantly, the pipeline from finding a question on SO that you also have, to answering that question after doing some more research is now completely derailed because if you ask an AI a question and it doesn’t have a good answer you have no way to contribute your eventual solution to the problem.

It’s not profitable, it’s heavily subsidized by the government

It’s 3 lines of code in basically every programming language, no need for selfhosting, just open the terminal?

It’s weird to hold the belief that AI won’t oppress us while showing it that it’s fine to oppress animals as long as you’re smarter

That website was the fastest loading website I’ve ever visited.

Where did I accuse them of selling data right now? I’m simply deducing that they will have to cover the insane costs of their inefficient infrastructure through either becoming a paid app or collecting data to sell.

And my point is that since their costs are so high they will either have to become a paid app or start collecting data to sell. Or become more efficient but you’d think if they knew how they’d already done that.

I think the main red flag is that they are spending so much money. In 2023 they had 55m monthly active users and they spent $35m. The casual WhatsApp user that might switch to Signal is definitely not gonna pay for this so either Signal fans have to donate more or Signal has to start finding other monetization which if we look at other companies means selling private data.

(Also, half their spending is on hosting and they are not self hosting so a donation to Signal is basically a donation to Amazon and Google.)

You should leave a review, I am not affiliated with them

Because Signal is not decentralized nor anonymous

During onboarding of the app you only choose a name and get a random email address

You can argue that element is not matrix but you’re fooling yourself. Others even have to look at how element implements stuff instead of following the matrix spec
