    Will the Android Signal client work on it, or does getting one involve forfeiting any means of communication with people who don’t know what a XMPP server is?

      I think their refusal to allow third-party clients but also only maintain the official one for select few platforms is one of the things that is a big fat minus for Signal

        Yeah I don’t trust Signal. I don’t get why it’s so beloved. Anything that requires me to use a phone with a telecom-company-controlled number as my identity is not something I am generally inclined to interact with much less consider “secure” in any way.
