i’ve just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).

if this is true, then i have a few questions:

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

-what this means for other apps in general?

    Would you say Molly is big/trustworthy enough for this to be negligible, or is it a huge risk?

      Molly basically is a fork of the signal client that switches out some notification based things (such as your notifications going through fcm and such) and instead lets you use unifiedpush and/or a molly websocket. Apart from this they’re both the same. Molly uses signal’s codebase.

        Molly also supports full database encryption and replaces all proprietary blobs in signal iirc
