What is the benefit of using this instead of Signal?

You get to convince your peers once more to use a different app.

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

Android tablets as linked devices is why I use it. Something Signal seems to refuse to add.
