Signal is centralized, loops is closed source and not accepting new users.
Loops will be open sourced later they say.
That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.
That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.
I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution
Loops is anti-libre software confirmed.
Why does software have a political stance?
So Matrix it is?
I was told that unless you self host, matrix is less secure because it leaks more metadata. Something to consider
Leaks more metadata? What does that mean?
Damm, didn't know that, good to know
