And what do you think of Molly? do you recommend it to replace Signal or is it preferable not to use Signal or any of its forks?

Federated / P2P is a must IMO for any messaging service, so that rules out any signal or fork, even if its self hostable, which I assume molly is.

No fixed account and really easy multi-server connection clients like with IRC kinda works also.

Okay, I will keep that in mind. I thought Molly was the ideal alternative to replace Signal. I will try to use more Element or Briar.
