gta3 If you're not using FCM or UnifiedPush with Molly, it'll fall back to WebSockets which is much harder on your battery, yes.
Byteang3l DROSTTE I just don't trust signal, SimpleX Chat is better. Post quantum cryptography, no phone number requirement or user IDs, not even random ones, not in America, etc.
You randomly don't trust Signal? Cool story. Signal's protocol is also post quantum. You can register with a burner phone number and forget about it as you'll never need it again. You can hide your contact number from everyone and just solely rely on your Signal username.
Eumenia What do you mean?
Their clients are FOSS
He already acknowledged that it was a typo and he meant to write Telegram.
Oggyo Hi eggy, I have a question.
Let's say I accomplished that, but my correspondent still relies on the FCM to get the push notifications.
Can this still be considered a privacy weakness?
A very minor one, but yes. Signal encrypts their push notification data, so Google can't know the content of your message or who you're messaging with absolutely certainty. It could theoretically infer things from the metadata of your FCM-using contact and maybe the timing of their notifications. The biggest win of using mollysocket + ntfy to me is that you don't need to run google play services on your phone, but still get push notifications from signal that'll be easy on your phone's battery life.
de0u The forum moderators have expressed disapproval for alarmist claims without evidence. If there is evidence for a claim, that is better than an unsupported claim that some people agree with and others do not.
It's hard to provide evidence for closed source apps, but he might have a point. While Meta can't see the contents of your messages as they pass through their servers, they could still parse your WhatsApp messages locally on your phone for keywords to flag your account.
