The server’s trustworthiness does not matter for Signal. The app is designed to work securely regardless of the server. Moreover, even if the server software is open source, you cannot be sure that they run the same code that they publish.

How secure are old computers/laptops?
Older machines can be at risk from hardware flaws. But if your machine can run Windows 11, which most machines from 2019 can, you can safely use and install Linux on it. I recommend not buying a new machine that lacks official Windows 11 support even if you want to run Linux.

I would usually not be concerned about old hardware as long as it can run a modern OS I trust. This means most laptops are fine, but phones not so much.
This is not a good suggestion because even with up to date and modern operating systems, hardware vulnerabilities can often be leveraged

I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync.

Lemmy itself has encountered numerous cyber attacks.

Long time Linux user feeling burnt out
Fedora 38 with Wayland has given me the smoothest and most trouble-free Linux experience. I suggest using either the gnome or KDE version with Wayland.

How are we going to pay for all this?

ActivityPub consumes a lot of resources, so the cost for each instance owner will still be high
