Olvid, a secure messenger, is finally open-source! They said before the end of 2021, well it’s really just before the end but it’s there. They released the source for their Android and their IOS app.

    Similar to what? According to their client’s github readme, it’s just an alternate client for the signal server (which IIRC is illegal and previous alt-clients such as LibreSignal have been shut down because Moxie threatened legal action, so I’m not sure how Molly’s getting away with that).

      Your right, they could be shut down at any time so that’s a risk for now. That’s why they are working on their own messenger that improves on signal using their own decentralized servers. Signal hasn’t taken down others in operation currently either
