I would use it, if there were unified push support.
What is that and why does it matter?
unified push works as a stand in for gms on devices without it. it runs in the background & receive the wakeup pings for the apps (in this case simplex) so you only need one websocket open instead of a different background service for each app. hugely reduces battery use.
Does that work without google services? I thought this was why signal said they wouldn't remove gapps depends, and all privacy apps do pull instead of push?
AFAIK yes, it's the whole point.
Jami has that.
Jami is a bloated insecure mess. It is getting better but I would not use it
How so? First time I've heard this.
Also Molly and Mercurygram and most of the Matrix messengers
Jami is broken
