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.

      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

      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.
