Signal-Server VS status-mobile

> 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

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/src/main/java/org/whispersystems/textsecuregcm/push/APNSender.java for APNs push notification payloads

git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server.git

yes it is available here https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/pom.xml

You could also start your own signal server, but with blackjack, and hookers

The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).

Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

It’s actually the signal server that isn’t reproducible because of the abusive message filter that’s in a private repository. It’s clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

What if there was a language we could speak in at the speed of light, with no distortion? As Ho notes, thermodynamics was based on the anaerobic view of the universe, where heat energy transforms into mechanical work, but "the predominant energy transductions in the living system are instead, electronic, electric and electromagnetic, as consistent with the primary energy source on which life depends as well as the electromagnetic nature of all molecular and intermolecular forces." Humans evolved from using fire to electricity for heat, just as the world evolved from thermophilic single-celled organisms to algae that ate light and paved the way for human evolution, just as human thought evolved from a heat-based thermodynamics to an electro-quantum one.

Join startups - but understand the bar for good startups is incredibly high Most of em have profiles like https://github.com/ajsutton Top names are protocol labs, consensys and status.im

I have waiting for about a year for Lens Protocol to become available to everyone and official, but the news hasn't yet come. In Ethereum's website, it recommends other decentralized social networks too like Status.im, Mirror.xyz, and even talks about Twitter. What's the progress happening in the field, and which one is going to become popular in your opinion? Has any of them become popular among users who are already using it?

Is https://status.im not good enough?

Status Inu is close to 100 members in the https://status.im/ community

Status: Crypto Wallet, Messenger, Ethereum Browser (version 1.20.3): Cryptocurrency wallet, Private messenger, and Ethereum DApp Browser all in one

status.im (this one got a lot of attention a few years ago)
