It's based on Signal protocol and it's also open source. However, unlike Signal it doesn't harvest phone numbers.

I'm not using Signal until it's on F-Droid.

You don't even need a store, you can install through the apk here https://signal.org/android/apk/

Signal's hostility to F-Droid is the problem.

Care to expand on what you mean by that?

they’re not hostile… they don’t see the reason for them and it’s not as clear cut as you’re making it out in favour of f-droid

that’s an entirely separate concern to f-droid
