MODERATORS
Why is it not actually in F-droid? They want me to install a private repo? Has it been audited or is this a shill?
F-Droid doesn't want to host Molly because Signal doesn't want any forks on F-Droid. Seriously, that's the whole reason. Molly devs would be fine with it.
Molly is actually reproducible and has a fully FOSS version, so it is trustworthy.
Is that because Signal has trackers in it and F-Droid would remove them?
Wait, Signal dev forced f-droid admins not to upload Molly to its official repo? How?
No. The F-Droid team just doesn't want beef with the Signal guys.
That's a good question, It really should be in the main repository.
