isnt signal a nonprofit? not a corporation

[โ€“] z0rg0n@monero.town 2 points 11 months ago

Some nonprofit organizations are corporations and have pretty shitty practices:

The Morman church is another US 'non-profit organization' yet somehow hordes billions.

Trusting blindly without doing research because something is presented as a non-profit is a good way to be taken for a fool and separated from your money.

When signal made their own cryptocurrency which they entirely premined was a huge red flag. Dropping SMS support was an annoyance that broke the camels back.
