>Signal hates users who aren't total normies.

No it's the other way around. Signal is explicitly designed for normies, which is why so many people use it. I doubt they sat around and thought of ways to screw certain users.

Easily? There's no easy in maintaining and releasing two different versions of your app, especially for a small non-profit.

It's just two compilation profiles, at least thousands of minuscule open source projects do it

Hates users who are not total normies and designed explicitly for normies are not opposite. In fact an app that hates not normies would be designed for explicitly for normies.

It's literally just another job on your CI. They got a 50 million seed donation in 2017 and reported almost 30 million in revenue in 2024. They are not exactly small. If they were VC founded and not a non profit they would be a unicorn.
