Huh? You linked me an article where server cost is the lions share of signal operation.
Most users doesn’t even donate 1€ when using free messengers.
How does signal operate then.
They don’t offer ANY “nice-to-have” features

It says it's for vibecoding but I use it like I would use chatgpt and it gives useable ansers to all of my varied questions. (ofc. you always have to check for correctness, even if it's correct most of the time, which I do cause I'm paranoid)
I guess the only downside is how frigging huge it is.
