Yes, but what does this mean if I can run my own server and compile my own client?

The corrupt deepstate fake news propagandist is the Chair of the Signal board.

And this coincides with the FBI (which was previously against Signal as they couldn't listen in), to completely change their tune a couple years ago when they started to recommend everyone to use Signal.

... and this happened a few years after the CIA director explained in a Congressional hearing, that they were working on circumventing the encryption in the chat apps to get the information on the devices before it is encrypted (-> this is what AI and the AI hardware chips in the smartphones are here for).

-> Signal isn't safe anymore, in so many ways. Putting this crook as the Chair is a shame.
