The server isn’t open-source,
but neither is Signal’ssimilar to Signal’s server in the past, but they claim to have a roadmap to change that.The French government recently promoted Olvid over Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp to all employees.
If the server is not FOSS, why even bother with either Signal or Olvid?
Wouldn’t a hardened self hosted XMPP server be more trustworthy than some random clown saying their stuff is supposedly secure?
yes. But XMPP is an open standard, it’s not promoted by any corporation and thus it doesn’t have a marketing team. That’s why Signal, Matrix or Olvid are more discussed.
Signal’s server isn’t open source? Then what’s this:
github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Oh, wow – thanks. I hadn’t realized Signal had changed their server code status, my bad.
Fuck android police and their adblock pop-up
