- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

You can still download the APK from their repository, install it, and use signals built in censoring-evasion setting as far as I know.
They are even working on self updating app feature IIRC.
This is why I donate to signal. I know there are decentralized alternatives but I can barely get my family and friends to use Signal.
Years of lobbying ✊
At least you all can get your family to use it.
I can't even get my spouse to use it unless she thinks what we are talking about might be illegal where we are (it usually isn't)
I've tried convincing family to use it, but all that happens is I just never hear from them until I see them in person or they call me.
They don't even feel the need to back up their Amazon Kindle collection before they get cutoff from it... Thousands of dollars wasted if they ever lose access to the account.
