Is your backend open source, or not?

Haven’t seen the git updated in a while.

This is either the mandela effect (I know for a fact that the server was stuck on "April 2020" for at least 6 months), or Signal intentionally hid development and then revealed it all when they realized it was bad PR.

No, you're absolutely right. The repo had indeed been stuck on "April 2020". I last checked it two days ago.
