    50% of signals income (aka donations) go directly to their hosting partners Google and Amazon and the second they don’t have enough donations to pay the bills the messenger will seize working

      Ye and if they owned servers they would need to pay electricity and internet connections to some capitalistic operators

      If they had even solar panels they’d still buy them from capitalistic companies

      If they even owned solar panel production they’d still buy materials from capitalistic mines

      If they’d also buy the mines they’d now need some form of army to defend them or they’d need to pay some capitalistic mercenaries company

      You understand that we have to start somewhere, right?

      It’s a bit like worrying about donations to Wikipedia or the internet archive honestly. They are so big that probably a lot of people would stop them from failing.
