Signal desktop client is actually Electron based. And AFAIK, Electron doesn’t run on Android, only on the desktop.
Apologies, but why would one prefer the fork over the original? Aren’t they both FOSS anyways?
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.
