Hi ! It’s been a while since I don’t use the Signal app, and instead I use Molly from the Mully-FOSS custom f-droid repo:

https://molly.im/fdroid https://molly.im/fdroid/foss/fdroid/repo

So I can use molly without binary blobs… However I was wondering if there were any efforts to include molly into the f-droid official repos… I understand the motto of having custom repos, but the more custom repos added, the slower the repos updates… And molly doesn’t get updated everyday either, :)

Thanks !

    Jeez, that statement on federated services is pretty disappointing. Wasn’t Matrix already going around the time of that conversation?

      It was, yeah. They even mention XMPP in that conversation, which works fine, too.

      And I found that exchange deeply disappointing as a whole.
      If you don’t want to federate with other servers, nor accept third-party builds/forks on your servers, then there’s no real difference to WhatsApp et al.

      We can try to decompile their builds to see what code they actually ship, but if they do actually include questionable code, there’s little we can do.
