Originally I’ve download the signal app through playstore, but often it also get updates from Droid-ify(Fdroid client). Today its weird and I got this . Explain to me this.

On the Droid-ify the signal app is provided by: org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

    Call it blame, but that decision is fully within their right, and what Twinhelix does technically violates F-Droids’ guidelines. If a creator doesn’t want their app on there, F-Droid calls to respect that.

    The official Signal apk updates itself, so that’s not even an issue.

    If your unoffical build from a third-party gives you issues one day, you are fully responsible for that.

      Huh? They could just as well provide a blobfree APK themselves. They have their Google Play crap already, everyone not using that will probably also have a googlefree OS.

      They have a FOSS client and provide no FOSS binaries, which is totally their right. I heard their Desktop clients are not reproducible though, maybe because of Electron?
