End to end encrypted, I think chat control is all about client-side scanning so the app being open source is a big deal and would prevent client-side scanning because even if they build in client-side scanning, it’s open source and people can remove it.
Signal is pretty control freak-y, so would not be surprised if they can somehow prohibit third-party modifications entirely. That would be out-of-character for them, though, so doubt they would actually go through with this.
Still, if that went through, I’d discount all the centralized solutions.
Good luck setting up your own server and convincing everybody else to use that.
Signal is not federated. It relies on a central server, meaning for all intends and purposes Signal controls the entire chain.

Just have the server link a hidden device, boom, all chats decrypted.
