Trust leads to the dark side
Fine, go verify it
Sadly, Im not qualified to do that. It’s still my messenger of choice.
Then not to be aggressive about it, but go get qualified or stop spreading FUD honestly...
Cant server isnt foss they could be doing anything with metadata.
It is, but open source servers never matter anyways
I thought it was open source.

This doesn't prevent them from running different software or logging requests, but we have unsealed court orders, which is better than most other services that could receive them.
Sorry ur right. But yeah as u said they could be running anything. Im confident in the fact they cant read messages just not so confident they arent collecting metadata capable of building a social graph. Sealed sender doesnt do much good when u have a centralised server.
The server is Foss. However, that means nothing as you still be using it. Best to not trust it and use ee2e which is what Signal does.
Signal is really a fancy version of SMS and MMS. It does require a phone number but contacts don't need that you contact you. There are better options from a anonymity perspective but they aren't as user friendly and popular.
