But even if so, they ban you from the official server when you use some client as Molly or Flare. It’s pretty useless then to use them if you’ll have to self host, something that for Signal is pure cancer, thus in practice that’s equivalent to banning third party clients.
If you have a citation for this claim, please share it. I did not find evidence that Signal routinely bans accounts for using third-party clients with a quick search, and I have used Flare with no account issues.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Signal banned an account for using a client that was sufficiently ill-behaved as to resemble an exploit attempt, but that’s different.
