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?
Not true. There’s an issue in the molly repo where Moxie chimed in and told them to stop using their servers.
So, theyre not being banned or sued…but they are not allowed either.
Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source? I mean, Molly has worked using Signal’s servers for at least 5 years now and Signal’s devs can see that people are using it and have the capacity to easily block them if they wanted to, so how are they not allowed but still allowed? Seems contradictory.
Just search their repo issues for Moxies username. Should be easy to find.
I tried but my google-fu failed me.
Search in github, not google
I guess he is talking about this

read the main page of this repo, the Dev made it clear that moxie made the right move in the end by accepting a gcm free notification feature
