Many of my kids want to securely text other kids who have laptops but not a phone plan or a debit card or spare money securely. This will stop that.
This will also make new users think that signal is a greedy company doing pay for privacy.

Signal Login: the optional registration without a phone number will require a one-time payment.
This is intended to create an additional barrier against spam and abuse. The fees will also help support Signal’s mission 💙
Signal has not yet confirmed the price.
What do you think would be a fair price?

"Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.
The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

"For instance is there anything similar to RSS for gopher."The best way is likely to write a bash script to construct an XML file with a page per channel.
'cURL' should be useful since it support gopher, although you will have to custom script it.
'Lynx' browser also handles gopher quite nicely and you should be able to use the -dump feature and parse what you want.
'sfeed' may also help: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/resolute/man1/sfeed_gopher.1.html
