AFAIK, nope. There are several personal projects which modify Signal to work on private infrastructure rather than use signal’s centralized service, but nothing intended for public consumption or at least not that I’ve heard of. Maybe search it.
Signal is good enough and has been pushing for more mainstream appeal and polish (e.g. gif search) Its Achilles heel and main drawbacks stem from it’s centralization: needing a phone number and routing thru Signal’s infra. But that can also benefits them in some ways. Most devs who would be tempted to change that would rather spend their time elsewhere: tox, matrix, i2p, tor, xmpp and irc shenanigans, etc. Signal is just hydrated, in its lane, unbothered; chugging along as its LLC dictates. No alarms, no fires, no compelling reason to do a hard fork.
Edit: it completely slipped my mind that Molly exists. So yeah there’s that. But they still use signal’s infra.

It was attacked because it was critical to Ukraine’s neighval warfare
It puts the democrats on its skin or else it gets the MAGAts again. Harm reduction is the name of the game. If you want change, you need to start local and build parallel power structures like community support networks
Trump said We’d never see him again. Fascists just lie a lot…
It’s a war crime to wear certain insignias or flags, or to falsely surrender or feign injury for the purpose of ambush… But really, what’s he supposed to do: “oh, sorry, this was a misunderstanding; please shoot me”? They’re in a defensive and illegal war against a belligerent that flagrantly disregards human rights and international law… Two wrongs don’t make a right or whatever but this is like a clerical error versus organized crime
Could it be because they’re a zealous ethnostate in the midst waging a genocide? Or perhaps there’s some other minute nuance being overlooked… I guess we’ll never know. A mystery for the ages.
What a timeline…

Funny that the pride flag is on the left when the most impressive Linux devs I’ve ever met all did their best work while caged and plugged in thigh highs but… Whatever

“Government is bad” *governs badly “SEE?”
…yeah. Every time.
Are there real concerns? Yes, some. Are there tons of misinformation campaigns actively trying to push anti-immigrant narratives and fake statistics to fearmonger and activate conservatives? Absolutely.
At least they have guns so they can resist a hypothetical tyrannical gove-… Never mind.
“Blue no matter who” UNLESS they’re even slightly against the status quo… Complicit traitors.
