What’s your point?

Yeah the comment I responded to did

It doesn’t matter whether a server claims to run free software or not. You can’t verify what it’s running. That’s why E2EE is designed entirely around the client. You can’t trust the server no matter what.

You can’t just write three paragraphs (that contain half-truth, half-misinformation) about how Signal is the middleman and then conclude “you can assume there’s no middleman”. You can’t assume that. Signal is the middleman. There’s no arguments to be made against this. Signal doesn’t claim they aren’t the middleman either.

If you want to be mainstream a) you can’t have spammers, scammers, and all the other scum of the earth and b) finding your contacts in the app HAVE TO be plug and play. Literally no normie will bother adding with usernames or whatever.

no middleman

Signal is not P2P

Use docker if you want peace of mind

an open source and proprietary platform

Are parts of matrix closed source?

Just use signal is not a valid statement in a world where vast majority of people aren’t using (and won’t use) it. I have been trying to get people to install it and have a total of 6 over several years. They only use it to communicate with me.

People miss the fact that we can tell when one of them make a questionable decision which is what matters the most.
