Great. Now we just have to get Signal off AWS and we be good.
or federated server
Would be very cool to be able to host a Signal homeserver.
https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ here is Moxi's take on that (former Signal CEO).
So I don't think it's happening.
they won't do that.
Matrix tried for quite a while to get interoperability, but signal is just too paranoid about distributed hosting or interoperability of their software/protocol. it's quite annoying
And yet simplex exists.

Wait, simplex isn't paid?
No, it's totally free and open source, and you can host it on your own server if you wish.
