Molly, Signal FOSS (TwinHelix), Molly FOSS - Better than Signal?

Molly advertises itself as a “hardened version of Signal,” & its FOSS variant is the same without proprietary dependencies. TwinHelix’s FOSS Signal fork goes further, adding OSM support instead of GMaps. Are these forks trustworthy, & are they worth using for added security compared to mainline?

Does Molly or TwinHelix still allow sms? If so, on top of having no Google dependencies, it’d be a no brainer switch for me.

beeng,

You want SMS but not Google. How does that line up?

Spying is OK, but not if it’s Google?

My reference is regarding signal removing SMS and how ~75% of my messaging is SMS. If signal still offered SMS, it would make having others switch much much easier. I do use a security and privacy based VOIP service for sms and calls currently. But the moves I make are almost always much more than my friends are willing to do.
