      It sends and receives Signal messages. They have an early prototype server project, but it hasn’t had any commits in 3 years

      It’s a more hardened version of the signal app from my understanding. The github goes into more detail about that. There is also a version where you can get push notifications without using google play services. If using signal, I don’t see a reason not to use it through molly instead imo

      SimpleX is I different one that’s more privacy focused, it doesn’t use phone numbers for signup. Not sure how the chat features compare

    Not fully free. It still uses the centralized signal network

      You’re confusing libreness with centralization, I suppose? AFAIK, signal’s serverside is technically FOSS.
