The one anti-spam module in the server code and… what else is proprietary?

FCM? The thing they need to give android users (with Google play services installed) notifications?

They have a websocket built in. So they dont really need FCM even on phone with GPlay.

The websocket is fairly energy efficient, and much more reliable than FCM, in my experience.

It definitely isn't energy efficient. I installed Signal as an SMS app out of curiosity when I first degoogled but the battery drain was insanely high and the highest of all my apps.
