Why is @signalapp so opinionated? I don't get it. It doesn't need to be.

I can't think of even a devil's advocate argument that they "need" to be such control freaks about everything.

I've never used signal since it wasn't libre, what does it do that's opinionated?

I have also heard that it doesn't support regular proxy servers in the official app. Only their special kind.
It would be more available in censored regions if people could swap around different pluggable transports. But then again, maybe they could use VPN mode.

Because Google Play Services? You can get Molly-FOSS, which doesn't have them.

I may be mistaken about it not being libre, but I distinctly remember that when I was looking through things it didn't seem like a good fit. Maybe it's because you need to provide a phone number or relied at the time on a central server.
