RTFM - you can download the apk from their site, or compile it yourself is libre software. do you need to be handspoon by the playstore? people use f-droid and custom apk builds for everything, with custom ROMs with no google apps. never use playstore. Now if regular people is going to install signal, is much better to get them off whatsapps/facebook/instagram as a first step. so yes is a win win situation for normies. I rather see normies using the playstore to download signal, fediverse, matrix etc apps than fellow so called anarchist using facebook/instagram/whatsapp …
I am a new android user, people told me to use f-droid instead of the play store, but signal is not on the f-droid listing.
telling people to compile their own software is just bad user experience and it excludes people.
also, why RTFM people? it is elitist behavior and it ignores the plurality of realities(ie not everyone has the time, resources and knowledge to do it), is elitist behavior tolerated in this space?
peoplesayRTFM for then a simple duckduckgo/google/startpage search will yield what you need, it takes longer to write about what you dont know instead of knowing what you talking about first… https://signal.org/android/apk/ <----- do you need to compile? nooo. also I said if you read well that for normies is ok to use the google play. heck I dont even use signal but I know because I search before I speak shit on forums and claim non-true statements… this is when the RTFM comes in handy. is not elitist is what some people need so they learn to learn and to not spread rumours.
congratulations, are you trying to prove that you are better than me ?
because it fails when you jsut ignore all the points I present and just focus on the fact that i am noob. great praxis.
