Homeserver refers to matrix, and they're still wrong. If rooms and conversations are E2EE, they're E2EE.

Edit: grandparent comment can't seem to keep Matrix vs Signal straight.

I wonder why you would guess that.

Signal is the one that only works with Google Play, thus a Google account, and a phone number. It is easy for the spooks to connect that and its IP address to every subsequent communication, after the fact.

Signal works just fine without Play services.
