Manyverse is cross-platform and it's the main desktop app nowadays: https://manyver.se The Scuttlebutt.nz website hasn't been kept up-to-date. SSB's development is also decentralized, so this doesn't mean that everything moves forward in unison, so depending on who you ask, Scuttlebutt.nz is not the official frontpage. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago
The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org.
