Signal devs accuse f-droid for not being secure, but do not offer any convincing arguments to back it up. Just saying it doesn't make it so.

F-Droid works. I have 20+ apps installed on my phone from F-Droid. I am not going to go back to installing apks from website or Google Play just so that I can use Signal.

I linked you to a whole page of evidence, explaining the significant security issues in F-Droid before.

Here's that link again: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

Just read it

I read that article and had a good laugh about it. It is nonsensical. It does raise good points occasionally, but that is drowned by nonsense.
