I really want to sign up for Beeper, but the fact I have to give them my phone number to sign up for a waitlist seemed like a red flag. How is their security profile?
That's to prevent multiple entries by one person. Their security is very good, with audits and their products being largely open source (for this, PyPush. For Beeper Cloud, their Synapse fork and their bridges.). Only the parts that don't matter to security (the clients, mostly) are closed source.
Btw will they continue to live as Element changed licences to Synapse and Dendrite projects ?
Yes. They have a fork of Synapse that they can continue to use even if the license prevents them from using upstream (which doesn't seem true, but I could be wrong).
