I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the “Guardian” repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

    Is there anything specifically wrong with molly. It seems more locked down by default and is fully open source. Seems better to me.

      No, nothing wrong with it. I use it actually. People are used to Molly being on F-Droid so I didn’t want anyone to think that I was referencing that instead of actual Signal.

      Iirc Molly in F-droid still using FCM and the google maps API. If you want Molly-Foss, you have to use Obtanium to pull APKs from their git releases.

      Edit: I was wrong, you can get it off their F-Droid repository.

      They do not ship updates as fast as official Signal client does. Do not use it unless you specifically need one of its security features
