SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already.

Several people in the comments suggest Telegram, which doesn’t even encrypt group chats. Signal is likely the best option if the group is under 1000 members.
Oh, I thought Telegram does encrypt chats, just that you have to enable it rather than it being on be default. Is encryption only available for one-on-one messages?
Oh well, I can’t get my friends and family to use Signal anyway…
EDIT: My family only uses iMessage + RCS to chat with me (a Pixel), and my school clubs/friends are all on Discord or GroupMe. We don’t use Telegram at all. I’ve been begging my mom to consider switching to Signal since they complain so much about the issues with messaging me, but it’s yet to happen. I think I’m whittling her down tho 😉
Love my mom. When I was experimenting with the Pinephone and was only textable via SMS she begged me to get something that could run Signal.
Telegram is owned by Russian Elon Musk and the FSB. Avoid it if you can.
If you fight against USrael, russia seems like a good idea. Worked for Snowden.
They’re both shitty imperialist countries responsible for wars and genocide.
I’ll take neither, thanks.
