    The thing is I am looking at a private messaging/socializing app, there are some good comments with it on Mastodon, and I am thinking to create a censorship resistance group on there, but it is not open source.

      If you are reffering to Signal then both app and server are open source. Just that the server is centralised.

      For community building, try checking out SimpleX. Its open source and has an interesting take on anonynity. Plus it doesnt require phone numbers to create a user identity.

      As for either being censorship resistant, I am unsure how we’ll they’d cope. But my guess is they would perform just fine in most scenarios.
