Any othet alternative to telegram that is more open sourced , privacy ,security focused is available in fdroid etc. - eviltoast

Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an account i am looking to see if there are any better alternatives which aldready does have a piracy ring like telegram . If you know any share . I am asking this here because i think it is the right sub and i can’t find an alternative anywhere on the web . If it isn’t the sub for this i will delete the post if you request so in the comments.

EDIT : It seems everyone missed my questions point i don’t want a privacy focused app like telegram to chat i want a app that is privacy focused but can also help me pirate media .

    Simplex.chat is promising, with great privacy/anonymity concepts at its core:

    • no identifyer like a phone# or an email address needed
    • little to no metadata transiting by the server
    • identity management (“incognito” identities generated in one click when joining a group for instance, management of several identities), all database/client-side.
    • works with any server, through tor by default. different servers used to send/receive messages.
    • android/ios/linux-tui/linux-desktop/macos/windows versions available
    • in Haskell, so no node/electron shtf#ckery (just a different shtf#ckery… ;)) )

      If you’re on simplex you will understand this joke:

      Simplex sucks because we need stickers

      P.s. really love simplex, would like to see more stability and maybe speed, but everything else works just great
