Also interesting is this one.

Use a locally hosted XMPP with the Conversations client :)

    Interesting. This sounds like something custom made just to defuse Moxie’s argument, yet Signal is still not on F-Droid, confirming that there are in reality other reasons.

      probably has something to do with this:

      We can try to reproduce your APK, as mentioned above, but if this fails (or e.g. when you want to distribute an app with closed-source components or API keys etc.)

      apparently signal checks for play services even when you download the .apk from their site
