oh sure. ban the ONLY modern chat client not running on electron.
get fucked, spain!
Signal, Whatsapp and many Matrix Clients including the new Element X are not Electron based afaik
Signal desktop client is actually Electron based. And AFAIK, Electron doesn't run on Android, only on the desktop.
Electron does run on Android, see Element Android or Discord for example. I thought we were talking about mobile.
Are you sure about that? That would be surprising for me, as I had never before heard about Electron running on mobile.
A quick dive in Element Android's dependencies didn't reveal any mentions of Electron, but perhaps it's referenced in some other way.
