I don’t know if I’m opening a can of worms here, and I’m still trying to backtrack a lot of history where I was tuning everything out. I keep seeing random swipes at Signal (or the representatives (?)), and I was wondering whether they are founded or just lies.Is it another situation like Lemmy where we just “take the technology and move on”? Thanks!

    The code is open source, people look at the code, I’ve dug through their code a fair bit. It wouldnt be quiet, and it would take major code rewrites, it would be pretty obvious

      Okay, so if you’ve dug through it a fair bit, you’re probably more familiar than I am. How do they prove conclusively that the server software running on their servers is from the exact source that’s publicly visible and not a patched version?
