it's not just osm instead of gmaps for the FOSS version. It's NOT using google push notificationss neither gapps at all. Using sockets instead of push notifications. It makes molly FOSS being more battery hungry, but at least it's not using google stuff. Not sure if the dev would be willing to integrate suipport for unified push for the FOSS version, that'd be even better...
The official Signal app can do this too for notifications? This isn't unique to Signal-FOSS or Molly-FOSS, the base Signal app supports notifications without Google Play as well, which I use myself.
