      How does that work, though? It's the same servers and protocols, right? So it would verify with an sms. Or is Molly not compatible with Signal (Molly users talking with Signal users), and I'm just completely misunderstanding the statement of being a hardened Signal?

        I had mistaken molly for a different signal fork. Molly just uses an encrypted local db that doesn't rely solely on the OS encryption method.

          Ok, so besides being mostly FOSS (Molly) or all FOSS (Molly-FOSS), the only difference, is that Molly encrypts your db on top of the laughably easy to decrypt Signal db encryption and OS encryption? Wouldn't that make push notifications impossible, though?
