No. Signal would probebly like to add Federation as a feature but they have not done so (yet?). So even if Whatsapp would be down to do it, what I don't think, then their would still be a technical issue.
Actor is a messanger that seems to focus on federation and they want to use Singal Protocol as well. So maybe they will devlop software for that. However their is still the issue if Whatsapp would want to do that.
- muppetman 11y agoIt does support federation - for a while there Cyanogenmod ran their own Signal (then called TextSecure) server and built it into the Cyanogenmod source. It supported federation with Signal. But they removed it as the hassle of supporting the server was hard, the code was outdated and everyone agreed if you wanted that level of security, just install Signal yourself.
- nickik 11y agoSo, yeah, they had federation. That seemed to be a bit hacky, not proper federation, it was not designed to scale. Maybe Im wrong, I would like to hear somebody that knows more.
- Spakman 11y agoI would really, really like to hear more about federation in Signal too. They used to mention that it was planned, but that was a while ago now.
