@ted@gytis@rysiek@h3artbl33d@PINE64 signal's policy is irrelevant. the client is GPL. you can fork it and talk to signal servers just like you can fork chromium and talk to google servers.
@sneak@ted@gytis@h3artbl33d@PINE64 it is relevant, because if they wanted to, they could block your client. Signal is actively hostile to third-party client developers.
The right to fork is there, the right to use their servers is not.
@rysiek@ted@gytis@h3artbl33d@PINE64 you are conflating the developer releasing a fork with the end user using the server. there is nothing in the tos that says i can't use a modified client, and technically there is no way to prevent me.
