I don't think we should puritans in this case. Signal is an important force against pushes for building the panopticon.

I agree, its really frustrating since that time and effort could've gone into messaging/communication features

Funny, I was just thinking I'd much rather they launched something like Mobilecoin instead of depending on donations.

Well, the donation system itself does not allow mobilecoin as a payment method even when the option to enable it is available. Perhaps they are dropping this cursed thing for good.

Isn't this an alternative to that funding strategy?
