It is, but open source servers never matter anyways

The server is Foss. However, that means nothing as you still be using it. Best to not trust it and use ee2e which is what Signal does.

Signal is really a fancy version of SMS and MMS. It does require a phone number but contacts don't need that you contact you. There are better options from a anonymity perspective but they aren't as user friendly and popular.
