    since when? that’s good news to me!

    the alternatives seem to be Molly on the main repo and Signal-FOSS on TwinHelix’s

        I’ve just seen it. I suppose Signal-FOSS has the same signature, since I can choose between the two repos on its F-Droid panel

  They also offered their .apk directly through their site with an included downloader last I checked, but I would love it to on f-droid

    Add Guardian Project repo. It’s there.

  actually, years ago there was a long drawn out drama about people in Signal’s team refusing to publish on F-Droid because of “security concerns” in Moxie’s time. IIRC they worked to take down builds on the main repo

  you can probably still find the old github threads with the lenghty discussions

    I didn’t know, Thanks for the info . Well nowadays f-droid is a standard for privacy . They should reconsider
