I’m aware they lag behind in updates, only reason I chose to use Molly was because if I recall correctly they use Google Firebase for notifications, and I use grapheneOS and don’t have Google play service installed. So not sure if I would get notifications in my setup if I used signal witn no play services.

Correct me if I’m wrong though

Those are also my two biggest gripes about Signal as well. At least the Molly fork solves both of those issues, that’s what I use.

Agreed. They should not have tied it into a Google account, literally ruins the whole point of being anonymous on there. I get they needed to implement some sort of easy payment method, but this isn’t it.

Only thing I could think to do is create a burner Google account, buy a Google play card in cash, and add those funds to your burner account to pay the 3 dollars.
