Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

@tuell @netzpolitik_feed da wird auch viel seltsames Zeug postuliert.
Hier zwei möglicherweise interessante links dazu:

Alternativ gibt es für #android User die Signal-Fork #molly. @kuketz beschreibt es hier gut:

Also, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, funktioniert #UnifiedPush mit #Molly und #Nextpush nur, wenn du einen Molly-Socket irgendwo laufen hast: github.com/mollyim/mollysocket
Das heißt vermutlich wird Molly bei dir aktuell immernoch über den Websocket die Benachrichtigungen empfangen.
Ich habe ein #degoogled Android mit #grapheneos und ohne Play Services. Darauf konnte ich mit UP und Mollysocket (Airgapped) den Akkuverbrauch von Molly auf einen Bruchteil (< 1%) verringern.

Habe vorgestern mal #Molly mit #UnifiedPush via #NextPush auf meinem Smartphone eingerichtet .. funzt auch .. die Akkulaufzeit scheint subjektiv verkürzt im Gegensatz zum original Signal was ich vorher nutzte .. irgenwie war damit zu rechnen, immerhin ist 'ne zusätzlich App im Spiel .. aber wie sind so Ehre Erfahrungswerte? .. kann man das irgendwie optimieren? 🤔

@scy They're all pretty bad. Threema has some major issues with their encryption protocol: infosec.exchange/@Fiona@blahaj

Delta Chat outright lacks forward secrecy, and also doesn't use post-quantum cryptography.

XMPP and IRC are a mess, and essentially unusable for less technical users.
When considering or recommending a messenger, always ask yourself: Would your grandma be able to use it? If she encountered some issue, would she be able to find someone, other than you, who could fix it? That unfortunately rules out a bunch of messengers.

I think best option is to use the @mollyim client for Signal. The second best choice would be @simplex

Est-ce que cela ne dépend pas de ce qui est couvert par « quitter la France » ?

Si c'est enlever l'application des boutiques d'applications pour les utilisateurs français, OK, je vois (mais de toute façon j'utilise personnellement #Molly depuis #fdroid ).

Si ça coupe l'accès aux serveurs depuis une adresse IP française (par exemple), se dépêcher d'installer ne changera rien, n'est-ce pas ?

I've been curious about the Duoqin F22 (non-pro) for a while, but was hesitant to try it as I had already experimented with several, let's say "non-traditional" phones, and kept going back to my also not traditional Unihertz Jelly Star, which I've been using as my daily phone for the past two years or so.

Well, curiosity got the better of me. So... hi? 😄

Photo showing a Duoqin F22 Android-powered smartphone with traditional numeric keypad. The phone's display is on and shows three applications on its home screen atop a photo of a profile photo of a black dog wearing a red hair pin, looking off to the left-hand side with his mouth slightly open. The three application icons showing for Fossify Phone, Molly (the Signal fork), and Conversations (an XMPP Jabber chat application). Above the dog's face the time and date is shown, showing that at the time of the photo being taken it was 12:28pm on Thurdsay, February 27th 2025. In the blurry background behind the phone one can see the outline Macintosh Color Classic and the outline of a desk and some bookcases.
