And (what is important to me now) allows using any Socks proxy instead of only Signal's own censorship-bypassing solutions. This is a weird decision on Signal's part, because in places like this, you might need to switch between various protocols when the old ones stop working. And for Signal, developing censorship evasion is not the primary task so naturally they would not be as advanced and quickly-evolving as the communities dedicated to it.
