I think Signal might be an option
Signal requires a telephone number and it's mobile-first. If you're somewhere that your mobile device doesn't work for whatever reason, you can't use it because your messages go through that device. Signal provides your telephone number to Twilio for verification, and Twilio has been hacked.
Signal is a known CIA funded project. https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/signal-facing-collapse-after-cia
Nothing on telegram is encrypted, stores everything in plain text on its servers! Holy shit, I never knew it was so bad.
Seems signal uses real encryption and nothing stored on servers. Snowden recommended it.
Yeah, that's why Telegram is good for saying hi, but nothing else.
Signal is at your own risk. Just because it's encrypted doesn't mean bad actors don't have a key - especially with three letter funding.
NOPE. Signal is a honeypot.
Signal was purchased by ex-facebook exec, with a $50 million buy.
All comms go through signal central servers.
If you believe signal is secure, then you must've thought microsoft-owned skype was secure, too.
From what I read, Signal is as good as you'll get. Interesting reading about them, I really thought telegram was good because of the illegal activity there. Signal is far better.

Keep believing. You haven't looked into the protocol if you think that all data routed through a central server is "secure".
Signal was purchased for this exact reason. It was originally built in a privacy-first way. This, as usual, got the higher-ups upset, so they bought signal and routed all traffic through their servers. This exact same thing happend with Skype (See FOSDEM 2014 conference).
They're now grifting off of what signal WAS. Most idiots thinking it's actually secure, so they're more likely to share compromising information.
But, by all means, believe your masters.
