There are big wishes for Signal to adopt the perfectly working Flatpak.

This will make Signal show up in the verified subsection of Flathub, it will improve trust, allow a central place for bug reports and support and ease maintenance.

Flatpak works on pretty much all Distros, including the ones covered by their current “Linux = Ubuntu” .deb repo.

To make a good decision, we need to have some statistics about who uses which package.

    I’m thinking about abandoning Signal given the fact that they use AWS servers, still insist on requiring a phone number to use the APP and haven’t yet implemented nicknames like Telegram

    If you want absolute control over your communications, the only way is to self-host an XMPP server

      Yeah Signal sucks a lot. It is poorly very convenient to use.

      XMPP had too little funding. But it could totally replace Signal, no question.

      SimpleX is also cool and truly privacy first
