It's fairly reasonable to discourage people from using random third-party compiled signal variants though. If you can't figure out building it yourself, using the official one will probably be safer.
- guappa 2y agoIf they had proper reproducible builds it wouldn't be an issue… Also, why do you think fdroid is more likely to backdoor it than they are themselves? With fdroid i trust 1 party, by downloading random binaries I have to trust hundreds.

- procaryote 2y agoNot trusting signal's build and building it yourself is a reasonable thing to do. Not trusting signal's build and then turning around and trusting some third party build seems strange. The official build probably has more eyes on it, and signal has more reputation to lose.
