    Isn’t signal owned by a single company with backend infrastructure all Managed by them and only them?

    The current CEO is nice, for sure, but she won’t be there forever. Look at what Mozilla just did, this eventually WILL happen to signal too

    What alternatives are there form something like signal?

      You can self-host Signal, although you’d need your friends to sign up with your server.

      What we really need is a federated messaging platform. I don’t think it’s been done yet, but encrypted email efforts are kinda in that direction.
