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?

    How are they switching if they’re still using SMS? Get them to install signal is getting them to install signal…

      At the point they can use Signal SMS for everyone else, but direct Signal for you, in the same app, you’ve effectively converted them.

        They need to install signal either way…

        I haven’t used SMS for like 8 years.

        What’s another app?
