We build Signal in the open, with publicly available source code for our applications and servers. To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private: a system for detecting and disrupting spam campaigns. Unlike encryption protocols, which are designed to be provably secure even if everyone knows how they work, spam detection is an ongoing chore for which there is no concrete resolution and for which transparency is a major disadvantage.

    I would recommend you that you read the current thread about what I am talking about.

    They were able, they invested time and they just integrated shitty polling without removing nonFree material because they didnt want to consider fixed notification.

    They even memed the F-Droid port.

    https://github.com/oxen-io/session-android/issues/73

    I was in that discussion and I know what they told and what they did.

    They memed by telling untrue things even with a main F-Droid maintainer inside.
