Telegram is the only platform that "works" on Jolla. WA/Signal are both proprietary and will not work outside the Google-Apple "pleb sandbox".

Pffft. Signal is proprietary?

it is on https://Github.com/SignalApp

and i’ve got my own variant of Signal server and client running. and runs on not only mobile but Linux too.

...except that for nearly a year you didn't have access to any updates to the Signal server code on their public repo while they were secretly adding Mobilecoin to it.

of course. it a necessary submarine method to a rollout if not enough developers are on hand. Bad move, IMHO. but it is easily excised.

Out of curiosity why do you run your own Signal server when there is no federation?

a study of Signal protocols.
