Is self-hosted enough to avoid push notifications going through Apple and Google servers?

I get it.
Indeed, it’s obvious now that even these apps would need to use Google’s APII stand corrected. Nope, apps from F-droid usually do not use GCM.I hadn’t heard of netfy before this, I’ll have to take a look. I’m assuming that’s an alternative FOSS framework for notifications? Can it be used as a drop-in replacement for most applications?
You’re right, for some reason I thought Firebase was allowed.
Yeah netfy is a FOSS notification service.
As to drop-in replacements, I don’t think such a thing really exists on the user side, this is fully up to the app developer in how they want to implement notifications.
To use netfy instead of FCM your app would need to be designed to do so or support it as an alternative option.
