What is the benefit of using this instead of Signal?
It's named after a rave drug.
Hell yeah
Android tablets as linked devices is why I use it. Something Signal seems to refuse to add.
Fully foss dependencies, degoogled (doesnt require Google Play services), and further hardening to the app. And you can still keep your signal contacts since it is just a fork. Available through Accressant, fdroid, and github.
But note that you need to download the Fdroid version for the degoogled version
It has an official F-droid repo.
Also it may work as a temporary solution for those who are having signal troubles
