New Beeper Android App
On-device bridging works like this https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. We'll put together a full technical deep dive for the real launch, this is just an open beta. Our signal bridge code is open source: https://github.com/mautrix/signal
You don't have to use our hosted bridges, we've made it ridiculously easy to self host: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager

Second Phone, Same Signal
Exactly yeah, I used this bridge with this playbook
- Have you tried any decentralized messengers?
-
Best KaiOS device for a user in the US?
I personally recommend going with a Matrix client and building a bridge to your Signal account.

Hosting Signal frontend on a local server (Like Signal desktop but through website)
OWS has historically been hostile to third party implementations outside of their clients. There are multiple unofficial options but the only one I've been looking at is the bridge with matrix, though setting up a matrix server just for this is likely overkill.

Beeper >> Signal
However, looking at the Matrix docs for the mautrix-signal bridge, it seems to be open-source and end-to-end encrypted. You'll have to look through the source code to figure out how they did that, I guess, because I couldn't find any details.

Let’s chat about RCS
Once you have the home server set up and configured (not covered here because it's a process), clone the bridge repo (for instance mautrix-signal and follow the instructions.

Signald: Unofficial Daemon for Interacting with Signal

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

Are Signal Notifications Encrypted ?

How to Selfhost Signal Server?
git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server.git
- Children’s data is probably being collected by messengers

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

Signal would 'walk' from UK if Online Safety Bill undermined encryption
You could also start your own signal server, but with blackjack, and hookers

‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’
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.

"The Signal client is built non-reproducibly, so you actually don't know whether it's running the source code available on Github."
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
