It looks like Signal isn't as open source as you thought it was anymore

Just use Status: https://status.im/private-messenger/

Mozilla Public License - E2E Encryption - P2P Messaging - Active community & git repo - Integrated Ethereum wallet for Web3 access

Try New Awesome Messenger!

It has:

* E2E encryption * Awesome new features * Decentralization * Everything you ever wanted

Small drawbacks:

* Can't actually talk to any of the people you want to talk to.

Well you can just stick with Facebook Messenger then and feed the beast.

Given the direction Signal is going... I do regret not having stuck with Whatsapp.

The only realistic alternative would be Matrix, but that's not usable for the average user yet (too unpolished).
