Not everything has to be federated anyway, it's not inherently better for privacy by default, because you are putting your trust in more people. Signal can be audited easier than 1000 people hosting their own servers.
Signal isn't perfect, but it's the best option we have that everyone can understand to use.
We get no privacy when the only server rug pulls.
Then we move on. There's always a fork or alternative waiting.
You think you have privacy with buttfuckers6969 running your server? Reddit and Lemmy never cease to amaze me.
Never heard of end-to-end encryption?
Jesus Christ 🤦♂️ you really do.
I'm not sure what I expected.
