    Interesting…
    I had the conflict with f-droid in my mind, where the Signal developers were very specific about not wanting any Signal builds distributed outside of the Playstore.
    That seems to have changed…?
    But still no build distributed via f-droid, I just checked. But that may still be because the f-droid maintainers really where pissed off at the time…

      To my knowledge, they prohibit third parties from building distributions and connecting to the centralized server, because fuck open-source, I guess.

        No that’s due to the tiny hat community doing exactly that & archiving secret chats. Check out Micah Lee’s presentation in Defcon regarding Telemessage-Signal.
