Molly advertises itself as a “hardened version of Signal,” & its FOSS variant is the same without proprietary dependencies. TwinHelix’s FOSS Signal fork goes further, adding OSM support instead of GMaps. Are these forks trustworthy, & are they worth using for added security compared to mainline?

    if you uninstalled GMS, than you have no choice, it’s Molly for you.

    No? Signal on their official app works perfectly without any Google apps or Play Services installed, including notifications, I use it daily on my deGoogled phone. I don’t know where this misinformation is coming from.

      from experience. i tried to re-register signal after degoogling my phone and couldn’t. I already had Molly in my test list, so i tried and i was back online.

      maybe signal has to be installed without gms for the configuration to work?

      if that’s misinformation (i will trust you), i’m sorry and i’ll keep it to myselves
