"All accounts registered using signal-cli before 6 March 2026 are getting unregistered"

ok this is not just us @vlkr
Oh no, signal-cli receive suddenly says my number isn't registered. I just want to live, why do I have to deal with this now?
@kdieter If installing #signalcli on desktop, just install the flatpak from flathub: https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.asamk.SignalCli
If on mobile #postmarketOS, install from Alpine repos: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.22/community/aarch64/signal-cli
@Berker @Sxan Community maintained #flatpak version with ARM builds here: https://signalflatpak.github.io/signal/
#SignalMessenger does not allow the desktop version to be your primary device, so mine is #SignalCLI https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.asamk.SignalCli on my desktop, and the L5 is a linked device.
Btw, it looks like official ARM builds of #SignalDesktop will be available soon but for Debian-based distros only.
@kdieter In case you're not able to link, let me know what you're trying to do? What is your main device?
If you're using #signalcli as your primary, you can convert the device linking QR code from #SignalDesktop to a link and send to your primary device.
@donalddotcat @pi_crew Yes, #signalcli can be used to register an account on Linux (desktop or mobile).
anyone using signal-cli? anyone have any good advise for getting this up and running? Really want to look at programmatically scheduling myself reminders but also would make a nice way to alert my work team OOB
Using Signal without having a phone has been mostly okay, except it recently has been insistent in asking, WHO WAS PHONE but of course there is no phone, only signal-cli
