Would be cool if the server wasn't proprietary and closed source. Until I can look through the source code of the server I'll stick to Signal who has open sourced everything and a very well security reviewed implementation.

I can respect this, though just because they've released the source code it doesn't mean that what's in the repositories is actually running on the servers. It happened before, and while it is not a big deal, we can't know what is precisely running on there at all times. And the stock Signal app doesn't allow federating with other signal servers out there, so personally I don't care whether the server side has a published source code.

the idea behind open sourcing the server is that you can build it yourself and run your own.
