Answer: Signal

I wish people would use Signal, but Telegram is the closest thing to a sane privacy policy I've got. There are a few that luckily agreed to use Signal.

Waiting on interoperability, see how that's implemented in Signal+WhatsApp (hopefully with Telegram to so I can ditch that).

Maybe check out beeper? I'm not sure if it has Telegram integration but it works with WhatsApp and Signal as well as Matrix iMessage and others

Little worried about the second part but I like that's it's short

@Scolding7300 @iesou there's even more to it.

''being a passive member of a group with even a single Beeper user destroys group anonymity!''
