well, except for all the times Signal just "forgets" to update the published source code of a year or so. Other than that its perfectly open source
The only relevant part is the client, which as always been open source.
The server is arguably more important, that is where the data and meta data itself are stored. Linux has never hid its source code for a year, and matrix can be self hosted.
I mean if you want to trust a honey pot go right ahead
More baseless nonsense
