I got this message today:

What now? What alternatives do we have....up-to-date ones, of course....? 🙄

I prefer

SimpleX Chat: private and secure messenger without any user IDs (not even random)

SimpleX Chat - a private and encrypted messenger without any user IDs (not even random ones)! Make a private connection via link / QR code to send messages and make calls.

simplex.chat

probably Keet (if used properly via burner IPv4 addresses, best through wireguard)

Signal is also highly underrated for weak reasons (usually the phone number which is a really trivial reason)

either way the UI and UX is ridiculous no matter what you choose sadly

OK...pardon my ignorance, but what is the point of Molly if it takes over one's Signal? Like I can't have Signal and Molly at the same time. It's either one or the other. What's the benefit of Molly then?

As they mentioned here : Molly is an independent Signal fork for Android with improved features.
It's an improved fork only.

OK... Thank you! I'm going to try it on a different phone that does NOT have Signal on it and compare. Thank you very much!
