     Signal also glows too imo, but I think they’re going to stop requiring a phone number.

     a lot of chat messenger apps like signal require a SIM card too tbh
     
     someone else commented about the gov but I didn't know that, it makes sense though (like china's WeChat)

     Pavel left Russia because the gov took over VK so I don't think Telegram is a psyop the bigger issue is that their encryption algorithm is proprietary and we don't know if it's cryptographically sound, it's also not enabled by default

     Can apps even tell if you have a SIM card?

     Telegram said the same thing but they still require a SIM card, session already exists too it's a signal fork that's actually decentralized and completely anon
