    That’s what Session is

    Which is actually on fdroid, unlike Signal who explicitly refuses to support degoogled ecosystems

          It’s still there. You said nothing about a specific repository. That’s not “missinfo”. How about you calm your rhetoric.

            because it’s not in the fdroid or IzzyOnDroid repo… so explain

            I showed you the creator of signal explicitly saying he refuses to support fdroid

        Is there some signing in place to ensure it’s not a malicious repo? I don’t really trust unofficial F-Droid repos.

          Unfortunately not. I’m trusting others who know better but if you want trusted as best as it can be you’re stuck with the play store sadly.

            If I remember correctly F-Droid supports reproducible builds, but it’s a matter of the app developer supporting them. So there is light at the end of the tunnel, we’re just not there yet.

      You can download the APK from their website and it auto updates itself. It fetches notifications without Google required.

            The point is that the community asked multiple times and they only started allowing apk downloads so people would stop asking. The signal project is open source for auditing purposes only, they have voiced their lament of forks and threatened to ban/block anyone not using an official client and refuse to make it easy to install through a package manager of the user’s choosing. The version without Google cloud messaging has unreliable message delivery, even though there is unifiedpush as a standard that would allow people to register with any push notification service.
