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 .

    They need to finally release the usernames feature. That will probably make it much more usable. At some point I managed to convince some of my friends to use signal, but ever since they removed sms support, even I don’t use it.

    They should have waited for usernames to remove the sms support.

      I don’t understand why the sms thing is such a big deal. Either use it or don’t, as in, I use shitty sms android when I must buy the majority of my communications are done through signal. Sms is not secure and should be avoided.
