@minimoysmagician you can't, yet. Although they did promise to open-source it some time ago. You can audit *parts* of the stack- #Pears & #Holepunch, specifically.
I suppose in that regard it is as auditable as Signal, who, as we know, have been pretty unresponsive when it comes to making up-to-date source for their server code available 馃し馃徎

@pospi It is not entirely the same, since with Signal I can be sure that the app I'm installing (ok, if self-compiled, which I indeed don't do) does completely encrypt my messages only to the receivers. Their crypto is gold-standard, so the only thing the server can do is a denial of service (even if unintended like today).

I'm not sure about Keet's implementation, but here we trust it to be flawless enough (not even thinking about backdoors) on their word.

My next question was going to be about how you came to trust this particular company, but I see in another reply of yours that you have met people in the community :)
And glad to hear that they're the opposite of fascists!
