Reply to comment by AnarcheAmor in Supporting Radical Businesses by error

If you can link me to a way where I can source quality hardware that meets security and privacy standards AND guarentees buyer and sellers anonymity then I'm all ears. I'll be happy to send a list of suitable models and specs.

Everyone else in this same space is charging anywhere from 1000€ for a device plus a 300€ to 600€ subscription per month for devices that are NOT community verifiable and run on unsafe architecture like Encrochat where the servers themselves hold user keys and maintain constant connection with said devices making the service itself a central point of failure. This is what I want to change for a fraction of the cost with NO subscription.

The devices I've built can be built by anyone however I've noticed not everyone has the time or patience to learn said content hence why I offer them preloaded however like everyone else in the world I have more ideas than resources, if more devices are to be made and sent to those that need them then funding is needed to maintain that supply chain.

Don't take what I said as a demand for you to change how you're functioning but a truth of the impossibility of applying radicalness to a business. This is to say that if you want to functioning under better ethics than your counterparts then by all means do so but radicalness is about challenging current paradigms and businesses, being parts of those paradigms, are rather inoffensive unless they function without monetary compensation, organized horizontally, completely democratic, and involved the betterment of their environment which is rather tall order in a capitalist institution and basically disqualifies them from being a business in the first place. Just don't worry about radicalness, but rather ethics and sustainability, and work as you are, as you are working things the best you can.
