How is Signal NOT a honeypot?

Legitimately I would feel more comfortable using FB messenger or that one chat from google over this.
It doesn't get shadier than this.

they're all honeypots
there's no way to make money and even if purchased for the user base most don't have accounts or would move over to something else
Jackson Long
Didn't they open source server?
Alexander Morris
As far as I understood it's only partially open source. Could be wrong, I only spent a few hours looking into it.

>own crypto

Chans have always been pots as well hence why VPN dynamic ips nodes are banned it's not because of shit posting it's also why we have google captcha to keep track as well as pass system this place been salted hard since 09

Why are you lying on a chinese cartoon imageboard? Which part is not open source or are you just pulling shit out of your ass? You can see all the code there, retard.

>not on F-droid
you should look at noise. It's set as a possible default for CopperheadOS. But you can download the website version now.
Daniel Bailey
Got a link with some info?
I could only find this dead link github.com
And noise isn't exactly a useful keyword for search engines

>Signal has full support for all features on CopperheadOS including voice and video calls but it isn’t optimized for low impact on battery life like Conversations. Copperhead used to have a fork called Noise removing the hard dependency on Google Play Services, which then became a rebranded build until full backups were supported to migrate away from it.
Noise is not updated anymore, since Signal itself can run w/o Google Play Services.
John Jackson
The server doesn't need to be open source for it to be cryptographically secure.
The bigger concern is probably that the Signal app distributed through the Play Store has dependencies on Play Services.
I also think your claim the server is not entirely open source is wrong. I think people have made their own private servers and modified the client to connect to them. It's entirely undocumented, however.
Adam Mitchell
I'll refer you here:
You can download Signal w/o Google Play.
Landon Murphy
Yeah, I saw your post right after the thread updated and realised I could have been misconstrued. It's possible to use it without play services as you correctly point out.

Fuck off, Pavel.
Nicholas Johnson
either bait or retard
Signal has their own crypto but its actual secure and by now adapted by facebook, whatsapp and any other secure messenger.
its also completely open and well researched, spend a few classes of my crypto course about it
Christopher Rivera
Signal crypto isn't really RYO since it's a fork of OTR
