Totally pointless since the chokepoint is Signal’s US-domiciled back-end server, and Signal doesn’t allow you to self-host it.

Worse, both of you should know better! See its software license cited above.
Spreading funding FUD tells us nothing about whether its license or source code is malicous, just makes people apathetic to privacy.
That says nothing about what they actually run on their server, or who they allow to look at their database. Most importantly, you can’t self-host signal anyway, so posting the source code for something you can’t verify that they even run, is pointless. They went a whole year one time without updating that repo, until the open source community made an uproar about it, and signal was forced to start updating it again.
False, read its software license, linked above.
You can’t self-host it. People asked for this feature, and were harshly turned down by the signal devs. If you don’t believe me, then try it yourself.
It’s an end-to-end encrypted libre app.
