This is why I don't subscribe to the Signal E2EE hype cult.
The fact that Signal doesn't hide the anonymity of its users, and forces everyone to use phone numbers is a huge red flag.
SimpleX is the way to go, always making sure you never say anything that can point to you in any chat.
Yeah, they caught the Dread Pirate Roberts because he leaked some account name, IIRC. There is no such thing as perfect opsec. 😬
Jami is an option also.
