Signal admins too can ship you an app version that would show injected messages like coming from legitimate sender. [1]

However, while you can be your own xmpp server admin, you can't be Signal admin.

[1]: And for god's sake pls don't even start on reproducible builds, nobody really verifies every app updates.

You just wrote it is "silly" to compare XMPP with Signal while constantly doing it yourself.

> Signal admins too can ship you an app

Or I could just use my own Signal client since it is open-source and there are several working forks such as https://molly.im/. How do "Signal admins" (whoever this is) manipulate these open-source forks?

Instead of providing any proof or details, you just post one assumption after another to distract from obvious problems with current XMPP servers and clients. As soon as we debunk a myth, the next assumption comes up.
