Does it really matter who made it if you can see the source code? You don't have to trust them.

That’s kind of a core tenet of libre/open software, innit? Independently verifiable software that you can change at your pleasure.

Can you though? Can I build the apk myself and use their services?

[–] ballgoat@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Yes, you can use their exact build environment straight from GitHub. You can also use Molly.im which is another app that i think is a fork? Im still investigating it.
