Signal messenger blocked in Russia, says Roskomnadzor -Ifax
Last commit two days ago: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Please don't spread FUD. If you're really this worried (about what? the client is still open too, or use Molly-FOSS if you're that paranoid), run your own server too.

Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system
I don't think so. Signal regularly stops committing code to the public repos (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server) when they're working on some kind of big reveal (cryptocurrency integration and such), but the server code is out there for you to run yourself.
Signal has the added benefit that it doesn't need to read what's in the messages you send. It needs some very basic routing information and the rest can be encrypted end to end. With AI stuff, the contents need to be decrypted in the cloud, so the end-to-end protections don't apply.

Signal: Keep your phone number private with Signal usernames
> They could at least BSL the server code and allow others to verify the server code and host but not compete.
This is exactly what they do (except they use AGPL): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

Multiple Russia-Aligned Threat Actors Actively Targeting Signal Messenger
I found SimpleX recently (https://simplex.chat/), which got my attention because it uses a unique account schema that doesn't have any individual account identifiers. It's got some interesting features. Not sure about user-friendliness since I don't use other messaging apps to know what to expect.
It's mostly just interesting to me that they did away with the username entirely and they instead have users connect exclusively through shared secrets like they're Diffie and Hellman.

Haskell: A Great Procedural Language
https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/fla...
Their flake.nix indicates they use Haskell to generate cross compiled shared library for Android, iOS, Mac, Linux and Windows.
I am not expert in Nix but at high level I can see they are indeed using Haskell.
