Comment on Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging
TokyoMonsterTrucker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoThis is such a bad take it seems like deliberate misinformation.
Signal is open-source software maintained by a non-profit. User data is not stored on Signal servers, they have no way to access messages as they are stored and encrypted on your phone. If the Signal Foundation were revealed as bad actors then the open-source code could be forked to a new project.
Feel free to fully evaluate their code here: github.com/signalapp

That’s the signal app. The software which runs on their servers is proprietary.

No it’s not: github.com/signalapp/signal-server

TIL. Was it in the past?

I’m with you on this, I strongly recall there was some sort of not fully open source portion of Signal at least at one point in time.

No, the server is on the github account linked above as well. The repo is here.
Signal however doesn’t federate and does not generally support third-party clients.
