- Freak_NL 6y agoYou're right about Signal having an open source client of course. It's a closed platform because of the 'no-forks-allowed' stipulations.
- Bit32 6y agoThe main reason for not wishing that Signal is forked revolves around adding new features. It stops things being fragmented. As both the client _and the server_ is open source though it's entirely possible to do things like Signal<->Matrix bridges.
