Why does it feel like Signal will just fall down the same enshitification hole that Telegram did?
“Free” service…gonna need to make some real money somehow eventually.
It’s got leg up on TG now but really not in the mood of jumping platforms again. (That and I barely use TG anyway, just a few friend groups that aren’t elsewhere).
Feel like I was the last furry using Pidgin for YIM, Gtalk, AIM, MSN, and Skype… avoided TG as long as possible until everyone was there and gone from other services.
@arch read that when it came out.
Non profits don’t mean no profit, there’s certainly still an impetus for money (and we all know what happens w/money and humans). Hell for example, non profit hospitals rake in fuckloads of cash and the special few pocket difference. Even Mozilla CEO draining foundation dry.
Eventually board members will change, ideologies will change, protocol has its flaws and doesn’t seem like worthy successor. Not in current state anyway. I’m skeptical about their long term.
@colinstu Oh for sure. Mozilla is a good example of things going terribly wrong. I have more thoughts but I’m mentally preparing for flights and layovers so I’m a bit scattered right now lol
