Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

    What’s the argument against allowing anyone to host their own signal server? I mean, the code is open sourced, why not allow people to set up their own servers too?

      The argument from Signal seems to be that they don’t want to expend resources supporting it or potentially federating with them. They do seem to have past experience doing this with CyanogenMod, and it sounds like it went poorly.
