  I mean comparing it to GrapheneOS doesn’t make much sense, they don’t have recurring costs.

      No, they don’t have recurring costs that scale with their size. The whole original point of my argument was that Signal is fine now because its userbase is above averagely passionate about it and willing to donate, but if it were to become mainstream that would mean the percent of its users donating would go down whilst its cost would go up, in other words its costs would outscale its revenue. This doesn’t apply to GaprheneOS as their costs don’t scale with the number of users.

        I think you’re missing the point. All I was saying is that both Signal and Graphene are both nonprofits and both seem to be doing okay with their donations business model.

        And donations aren’t just a euro here and there from users. Proton is rumoured to be one of Graphene’s supporters.
