So #Signal is down because it's free, I'm on #Element and #XMPP running it and paying for it.

@hugopoi signal is down because they gained 40 million users in just a few days. They have no funding issues.

@Demosthenes Had no funding issues, they obviously will need more engineers and bigger staff and spending more on servers.

@Demosthenes Yes of course but I'm worried about the governance of Signal, for now it's a 3 people board.
