I am not comfortable that signal depends proprietary google library. However, I find that Molly lags significantly behind signal (around 1 to 2 weeks, so maybe not as significant as I thought), but I am just concerned that if there is a security fix in signal, molly will not be able to react as fast.

I am also quite frustrated with the general lack of communication from the signal team (for example the lack of communication regarding username). I doubt they will have the good will to help molly when there is a critical security fix.

It is frustrating that signal no longer seems like the gold standard for privacy any more; unfortunately, all my friends are on there (ironic, isn’t it…).

    It used to be - this is an improved texting client. Then they removed SMS, and I think people are drifting away which sucks.

      As a “absolutely few apps as possible” person, I would be long gone if there was a working alternative.

      I found Element with SMS bridges came close, but was never as reliable as I need.
