Hello.

I just want to let everyone with some level of security and privacy paranoia that I have created a Signal group as an alternative to Telegram messaging app.

Signal messaging is open source, end-to-end encryption and is apparently better and more secure and privacy oriented than Telegram as it collects way less data.
It is also known that is less customisable, but who cares? We want privacy. We care more about privacy and security than fancy features and stickers and etc.

And another reason I created the channel is that Telegram is already so filled with crap/scammers/shitcoiners/etc that a clean group is always good to keep things sane.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to share the group link here but I won't do it for some time until I acknowledge this thread dis also in the correct forum and that I can share the link. In the meantime, if anyone wants to join, just drop me a PM and I'll share the link or QR code.

I collected a few insights about both apps if anyone is interested to check

As an update to this post, I ave also created a channel in app Session. Session is also an alternative with even more focus on privacy and anonymity than Signal, as it doesn't require a phone number!

These 2 channels are obviously quite and silent and not very active but anyone that wants to come in for chatting and sharing info on Bitcoin and Lightning, just ask for the channel links by PM.

Session was dropped. It uses a shitcoin under the hood so I decided to drop it despite the advantages of not asking any personal information!
