Yep. It's the same tactic Signal uses - sure, you can fork it, but the fork can't legally use their servers.

- kenniskrag 6y agothey don't want to pay the server costs for you.
- kitkat_new 6y agothey also don't want to let me spin up my own server and interoperate
- kenniskrag 6y agoI think you can spin up your own server: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
- kitkat_new 6y agobut you can't interoperate with the Signal server - it is a separate silo. It is like using two different messengers then
- wrzuteczka 6y agoYeah, but I think the largest benefit of Signal’s Open Source model is something different - it’s that their security claims are verifiable.
