That’s a poor reason. F-Droid is a potential security catastrophe.
You can find Molly from Accrescent, which is not so much a security catastrophe.

I don’t use Signal because they don’t release the app in F-Droid. Signal devs refure to release the app outside of Google Play Store, which is very evil.

You can use Molly cia F-Droid. They even have a full FOSS version that you can set up a self hosted notification socket for, to avoid Google Firebase.

I use obtainium to install it and it works flawlessly. The reason they don’t publish it elsewhere is due to licences and push notifications iirc

You can download the APK once from the website, after that it updates automatically. signal.org/android/apk/

I know I can. But the hostility of Signal devs to open source and F-Droid makes me uncomfortable. Why use an app with such hostility?
