There's a few chat applications which can be used to communicate:

Secure

  • SimpleX - Bit more secure then Signal, as it has built in privacy features at the protocol level (such as message padding). By default users /chats don't have constant identifiers either. Allows for anonymous profiles and supports multiple profiles.
  • Signal - Good replacement for normal “text messaging”. Share your username instead of phone number.
  • Keybase - Supports multiple profiles, allows managing teams. Roughly an alternative to discord/slack. Currently owned by Zoom. Zoom likely has metadata for knowing who is connected to a group.
  • Delta Chat - Supports multiple profiles.

Less Secure

  • Matrix - Fluffychat client is recommended, as it supports multiple profiles. Setup a home server and disable federation to prevent metadata being copied around. Note Homeserver owners can join encrypted chats and impersonate users.
