Ok, so besides being mostly FOSS (Molly) or all FOSS (Molly-FOSS), the only difference, is that Molly encrypts your db on top of the laughably easy to decrypt Signal db encryption and OS encryption? Wouldn't that make push notifications impossible, though?

You get notifications but you don't see the sender of the message or the content. At least I haven't found an option to enable that.
