For messaging, I recommend Matrix.
For sailing on the high seas, I think I2P is good.
please stop pirating using telegram, it’s a messaging service (with some elements of social media), not your cdn
this shit is run almost for free, from the money durov saved on his school lunches, using it as a cdn will break a good service for everyone, including the vast majority of people who just use it because it’s a good messaging service
Telegram has never been a secure option as you’re granting the keys to your data to third party to the intended recipients. Your data is basically leaked by default to Telegram’s admins.
I would recommend Signal to replace SMS/MMS and Matrix for IRC/Discord/Telegram.
Matrix and IRC can exist at the same time tho.

I’d also add Jami to the recommended list, even though it is a bit buggy.
Nobody uses Jami, XMPP and Matrix are whole lot better. IRC has a massive userbade.
Telegram is a public forum first, messenger second. Signal is just a 1-1 messenger (with group function as extra) and not a public forum. I can equate Whatsapp to Twitter, by this logic. People use this BS logic everytime for some reason.
they should go after the pedos and leave pirates alone
