Don’t Use Session (Signal Fork)
Last year, I outlined the specific requirements that an app needs to have in order for me to consider it a Signal competitor. Afterwards, I had several people ask me what I think of a Signal fork called Session. My answer then is the same thing I'll say today: Don't use Session. The main reason I said to avoid Session, all those months ago, was simply due to…

@Brett_E_Carlock Haven't looked, but I've been told it hasn't diverged from Signal in terms of cryptography protocols, so that's probably ok

@soatok Ah, excellent news, thank you!
They promote some code/memory hardening and some other things, as well as reducing tracking by not using Google APIs in Molly-FOSS.

@Brett_E_Carlock @soatok ive been using signal-foss[0] for a couple years ever since getting this murena /e/os fairphone 3 so now im curious to try out molly-foss too,
can i somehow transfer my cached messages and stuff over to molly-foss instead? i tried doing the whole phone number verification thing from scratch but never got the code and then it started saying "error connecting to service" too when i tried selecting Resend code

@banaanihillo
I believe so, yes. IIRC, my earliest chats were in Signal and still are in Molly.
My verification had to be requested multiple times, but eventually worked.

@Brett_E_Carlock were you able to use the "transfer or restore account" thing? or did you do the setup like you'd do on a fresh phone?

@Brett_E_Carlock okay i think i may have sucessfully mollyfied my signal now, it was a bit of a weird trip but signal desktop seems to have reconnected as well

@banaanihillo Mine seems to just use my locale (French,) if you're talking about Molly on Android, that is.

@boo_ murena /e/os version 1.17 with locale set to english/denmark or english/canada, can't remember which one works there

@boo_ ah, i mean, language set to english/canada and time format has Use locale default unchecked and Use 24-hour format checked

@banaanihillo Maybe Molly/Signal doesn't respect the last option. Android has English locales for regions that don't use it as their native language, for me it recommends Sweden. Maybe try one of those?
