Uhh you can get it on FDroid, you just have to enable the Guardian Project Archive repo. Last update was 13 days ago at the time of this post.
The Guardian Project is not Signal. It is not an official source.
Technically F-Droid would not be an official source either, since F-Droid maintainers package the apps themselves (the requirement for publishing there is that they can reproduce the build on their own infrastructure). I get the sentiment though, would also like to have it on there
Fair point
So, what is the solution you would expect from them?
They provide per direct download on their main homepage, on an f-droid repo and obviously in the Google play store
What would you want?
...I just said that? I expect them to make their software freely and readily available first-party in a repository and not hidden away on some obscure page on their website with no updates.
