    I disagree.

    1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
    2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
    3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
    4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

    Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.

    It was a few years ago when I read Signal’s statement about this, so I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you.

    I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it’s important to note that without Signal’s blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It’s not the same as official interoperability.

    I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

    Unless Signal’s policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

    If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.
