Signal-Server VS Telegram-iOS

> They could at least BSL the server code and allow others to verify the server code and host but not compete.

This is exactly what they do (except they use AGPL): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/src/main/java/org/whispersystems/textsecuregcm/push/APNSender.java for APNs push notification payloads

git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server.git

yes it is available here https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/pom.xml

You could also start your own signal server, but with blackjack, and hookers

The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).

Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

It’s actually the signal server that isn’t reproducible because of the abusive message filter that’s in a private repository. It’s clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

hi, i downloaded telegram ipa from [github releasase](https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/releases/tag/build-25780), and sideloaded it to iPhone XR, when i open it on iPhone, it will show a blank screen then a black screen and still.

Telegrams’ app is a good bit of swift: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS

I've tried again and again to engage Telegram in a variety of places. If I don't catch a bug when it's in beta, I can't even discuss it in the beta group. But oh wait, I can't catch it on the beta because I got kicked off the beta. The GitHub thread started in 2020 hasn't received any meaningful responses in a long time--arguably ever. Issues on the bug tracker get ignored and go into a black hole if they don't get enough upvotes.

(uses this script: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/blob/maste...)

And here are few recent examples of them helping people to solve build issues:

The Telegram app is native: https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS

From GitHub https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/releases/tag/build-23987

Same issue here. You should open an issue on https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS, I'll upvote it

Source

You can literally download and compile it yourself right now.

Telegram is open source. You can see the implementation of the share controller here.
