The server is Foss. However, that means nothing as you still be using it. Best to not trust it and use ee2e which is what Signal does.

Signal is really a fancy version of SMS and MMS. It does require a phone number but contacts don't need that you contact you. There are better options from a anonymity perspective but they aren't as user friendly and popular.
