It's a moot point, as Signal isn't going to support self-hosted notification servers any more than it'll support self-hosted communication servers. Signal works without GMS or any alternative, at the cost of more phone wakeups. This is much more preferable to everyone whose WiFi or data service you use see you connect to "push.myownname.com", or for you to rely in some rando gatekeeping your message delivery. | ||

> everyone whose WiFi or data service you use see you connect to "push.myownname.com" Mozilla has one. Hell, Signal _themselves_ could host a UnifiedPush server. Not an excuse to say 'you use Google or our app uses 10x the battery'. | ||

There is no reasonable reason why they shouldn't support it. Having my cell phone battery drain faster is a much bigger drawback for me than simply hosting my own push server at home. | ||
