@vaporeon_ looking into it, it seems your options fur desktop clients are another electron app, or some rust-based thing

a potentially intriguing route would be to set up a bridge from Signal to XMPP, allowing you to at least commewnicate with people over Signal from your XMPP client. seems the only maintained software you could do that with is [https://codeberg.org/slidge/slidgnal](slidgnal (hosted on Codeberg))

@aescling Ooh, that'd be an option! Then I wouldn't need to install yet another software... (IMO, it'd be neat if I could use IRC, XMPP, Matrix, and maybe even Mastodon, all from the same software...)

I am slightly confused: do I need to create a Signal account and connect it to the bridge somehow? Sorry, I tried looking at the docs, but don't see it quickly, maybe it's just because I"m tired

But that may be the way forward if I want to talk to people over Signal!

@Vaporeon :vaporeon: ☭ You do still need a Signal account to bridge, yes. And Matrix has bridges for all those things.
