    That’s a fair point about E2EE. For a communication tool, it’s a critical piece of trust. But what I find compelling about an open-source alternative is the transparency it offers. Even without E2EE right out of the gate, the ability for anyone to inspect the code, audit for vulnerabilities, and contribute to its improvement builds a different kind of trust. It shifts trust from a corporate promise to a community verifiable fact. That’s a fundamental win for public infrastructure, even if there are still features to build out.
