Some of my close friends and I have been using deltachat. It works off of email (has encryption) but looks like a chat program. No centralized server as it uses each individuals email server, they would have to take down all the mail servers . Works with gmail just fine, private domains are better but almost any email address will work. Nothing is totally private if it goes out on the wire. I don't know how email servers would handle this on a large scale but we've been using it on a small scale for a year and love it.

Could never get on the damn platform anyway, so no great loss.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Do you run or help admin a big telegram channel? Even if you don't, it's time to start thinking about second and third backup plans to communicate with your group when the censorship start coming - Nothing is safe at this point, so a Signal group, Discord group, IRC - whatever it may be, ensure you can communicate with those you've hung out with the last 2 years.
