    How do you feel about marlinspikes ruthlessly banning all third party clients

    False.

    There are a few 3rd party clients. They all identify themselves to the server that they’re 3rd party clients and they haven’t been banned.

      Thanks for linking Libresignal, read over its readme.

      But really 3rd party clients are beside the point: the main thrust of the article is about signal being a single, us domiciled, centralized service. They don’t let you self host a server, and you also have no way of verifying their server code. You just have to “trust them”.
