It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Mandatory? And per month or year. Younger people might not remember but WhatsApp was $1/year (at least in the states.)

There shouldn’t be anything wrong with expecting payment to pay for servers, etc. If it’s free then you’re the product right?

Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

Maybe. That is a one time payment but i guess they make their money on businesses. I like it but it’s not the slickest app yet.

I do this but sadly not viable for everyone. It is a great option though.
