Dear [@Mer__edith](https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith ) and the the amazing Signal (npub1rkw…5q62) team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- Purism (npub1qy0…nsak) #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- PINE64 (npub1qgm…yd0f) #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- Furi Labs (npub1pl0…qn57) #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based postmarketOS (old account) (npub1vnu…8mqn) ,
- Volla (npub12ye…qrq8) , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by UBports (npub1lmq…xa4a),
- devices running Mobian (npub1ua9…sk4k) which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]
