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?
Have you tried Molly FOSS, or are you using the standard one with proprietary dependencies? Is there a meaningful difference in day to day functionality?
Foss, basically new messages might not show up immediately
if that’s the case for you, your preferences may need some tweaking.
