Which of Signals privacy claims are false?
Pretty much everything about it is unverifiable, because its a centralized service and you ultimately don't know what the server is running. Contrast that with self-hostable apps which must pass verifiability checks, because people can host their own instance.
Selfhost your own self destructing pastebin.
Just be sure to read every single line of code before you do. You don't know what that selfhost solution which has 5k+ stars and dozens of forks is hiding.
