Why are reproducible builds only on one platform (Android)? Desktop version could have a built-in backdoor and data would be transferred not from the phone, but from the PC)

    Just a note that the flatpak is not made by the Signal Foundation, it is maintained unofficially by the community. See the last sentence on the app description on Flathub:

    This flatpak is maintained by the Flathub community, and is not necessarily endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers.

    There’s a discussion about the community flatpak’s trustworthiness on their repo here and here, a feature request for the Signal Foundation to have an official release here, but for now the only official Linux release of Signal is for Debian-based distributions.

      Fair point but why does signal have a position available for signal desktop on there web page? That’s rather odd to have it community maintained.
