Okay a few things.

Most people still have telegram groups. These are basically public forums. WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE ENCRYPTION. Avoid dms on telegram. Therefore use the FOSS version of telegram if you have to have it.

Simplex for groups (dms are fine) suck. I uninstalled.

Signal for groups/dms is 🔥. Other than asking for a phone number which is GAY. But I don't share to anyone.

A GrapheneOS user here. Nice guide, I like the succinct style. Thanks for the useful list of apps, I was not aware of some of them. But what is this:

> Telegram FOSS - Decentralized messaging

!?

IMO Telegram does not belong to the list at all. It is centralized and does not use encryption by default. That is worse than Viber and Whatsapp.

Here is an alternative:
