You want to let them rape your computer? I'm not stopping you.

That seems a little extreme. I would maybe agree if 1) it wasn't being made by the guy who has already got an AGPL project in Pixelfed and 2) it was on open signups. Whilst software is invite-only or closed entirely I don't really see a problem in it not being open-sourced.
You know it says gullible in their ToS?

Sure, just give your data to China and get their ads, who cares.
-
I do, use Signal if you care about privacy. They are the only game in town when it comes to reasonably secure chat software. Sure, I would prefer a federated alternative but I haven't found one yet that is always end-to-end encrypted, open source, implements forward secrecy, and is user friendly enough to be used by my grandmother.

I can't find its libre software licence text file.
-
I keep seeing this type stuff but neither peertube or friendica are genuine replacements at this point, mastodon is weaksauce compared to akkoma or a misskey fork, and loops is alpha software. also yes signal is centralized but it just works and has contact discovery so it owns matrix and xmpp when compared to whatsapp. basically none of this stuff is truly ready

SimpleX is better, you don't even need a phone number.

Friendica seems like a new thing? No apps for that yet either

matrix too has contact discovery, if you add your phone number (or email). most users don't, and that tells me something

FB Marketplace --> Flohmarkt is missing!

or they can also disable submitting issues for now
-
anti? is it against libre software? because it doesn't seem so

sender, recipient, chatroom, what kind of event you sent (message, emoji, reaction, vote), if you responded to a message, room privilege changes, etc
but it's a question how big of a problem is that. they want to tackle it in the future, but that's far away for now I think
