Telegram is the only platform that "works" on Jolla. WA/Signal are both proprietary and will not work outside the Google-Apple "pleb sandbox".

Pffft. Signal is proprietary?

it is on https://Github.com/SignalApp

and i’ve got my own variant of Signal server and client running. and runs on not only mobile but Linux too.

...except that for nearly a year you didn't have access to any updates to the Signal server code on their public repo while they were secretly adding Mobilecoin to it.
