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.

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.

That statement is pretty stupid in general. But for server side software, open source doesn’t help much. Even if you can look at the source, you still need to trust them that that’s what they are running on their servers.

I think there is levels of trust.

I am often able to reach of level of trust to believe a company is not straight up lying about the code they are running on their servers.

I am not often able to reach a level of trust to believe a “trust me bro” from a company (especially if that statement is not qualified in a meaningful way).
