https://fdroid.eutopia.cz/ offers an F-Droid repo for independent Free Software Signal builds and links to some of the discussions and options.

There seem to be two development directions pursued:
* Using WebSockets to replace Google services towards a LibreSignal.
* Linking replacement services with the upcoming https://microg.org/ initative.

Thanks for the pointer! It looks like Michel Le Bihan and Boris Kraut are working on adopting LibreSignal into the main F-Droid repository -- see https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/org.libresignal … but there seem to be some „ë“s left to dot, and some„ø“s still in need of crossing. At least https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.libresignal is still borked.
