No, probably not. They both speak the same protocol and talk to the same servers.
Unless the block was a app store distribution restriction only

(No central servers and everything goes through Tor, try blocking that!)
Then they get it through fdroid?
Sweden… more like snitchden… amirite?
They will probably just show message to Swedish ip addresses and state that they cannt provide you with the binary as you are using a Swedish ip.
Something very clear to say use a VPN 😉
This is where Signal's biggest problem shows. It's centralized. Matrix is the better choice since it will be up to you if you decide to break the law if it's banned, since there will still be plenty of servers you can reach.
yes. but transition takes time and my mom just installed signal last year. we will get there for sure.
