    This plus their longstanding refusal to implement things like an official FDroid client or UnifiedPush notifications leads me to believe they’re not committed to privacy.

      Those are also my two biggest gripes about Signal as well. At least the Molly fork solves both of those issues, that’s what I use.

        molly is no longer maintained properly. It’s worse than signal as last molly version is from Jul 31 and last signal is from Sept 11.

        i would think twice about using molly as the only benefit over signal is db encryption.

          I’m aware they lag behind in updates, only reason I chose to use Molly was because if I recall correctly they use Google Firebase for notifications, and I use grapheneOS and don’t have Google play service installed. So not sure if I would get notifications in my setup if I used signal witn no play services.

          Correct me if I’m wrong though

      Yeah, I’ve been considering trying to move friends and family to an XMPP server, but there are a couple older folks who will probably make that difficult.
