KeaganJust recently switched to #grapheneos from #iOS. Been using #signal for a while now, but thinking about maybe using #Molly. Which are you issuing?
Signal
Molly

tpaau@governorkeagan I currently use the official signal app but I plan on switching to Molly very soon (I heard a lot of good things about it on the GOS Discord).
Paralhax 👾@governorkeagan Both if you have more than one Signal account : )
Mark Isherwood@governorkeagan I use Molly due to their UnifiedPush support for notifications. I don't have Google Play Services installed at all and several other apps of mine are using UnifiedPush already. So that gives me his notification support without having to leave it running in the background constantly.
@markisherwood I was curious about the UnifiedPush as well. Would be nice to fully remove Play Services at some point.
With UnifiedPush setup, Molly still asked to run in the background unrestricted.
One last thing, how long do you have it set before needing to enter your password again? I'm trying to figure out a good balance between privacy and convenience.
@governorkeagan With UnifiedPush properly setup, Molly doesn't need to run in the background unrestricted. Instead your UnifiedPush distributor (I use ntfy) runs in the background to pickup push notifications for all apps. When it gets one, it'll wake up the app to do something.
I don't think I've changed any of the settings around password reminders. I keep all those secure in my password manager, so I'm not particularly concerned about forgetting them.
@governorkeagan I should mention that given Signal doesn't natively support UnifiedPush there is a second component which needs to run persistently on some other computer. It's what persistently listens for new Signal activity for you and then converts it into a UnifiedPush notification to be sent to your phone.
I've got a home server I run that on, so that's not a particularly big deal for me. But certainly adds a level of complexity around it.
@markisherwood I've got Nfty running on a homeserver as well, I might look at getting that setup for UnifiesPush

David Fleetwood - RG Admin@governorkeagan I use Molly on Graphene without an issue. I need to get it's push server set up.
