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?
Doesn’t this solve those issues tho?
Yes
Not really, since Signal servers are still proprietaty and centralized. But this mostly isn’t a privacy issue, it’s a different kind of issue.
