    Sunbird is closed source so you just have to take their word for it when they say they don’t store messages or credentials. How the fuck could you know if they’re lying or not? You can’t because it’s closed source.

    As much as I have issues with the similar Beeper, at least Beeper is open sourcing their bridges.

      They host their iMessage related shit the exact same way, so the amount of trust in the service is basically identical, at 0

      Just read through their faq

      Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not.

      That’s a nope from me.

        Yeah okay at first I thought “closed source isn’t necessarily a problem as long as there’s a good reason”.

        But nope. That’s the worst reason.
