SimpleX has the best privacy, because of removing metadata.

Signal comes close, and has many more users. Probably some of your friends already use it.

If you want something similar to Telegram/Discord/Slack, then Element (Matrix) is what you're looking for.

All of the above are E2EE.

Apps that don't work:

• Google Pay

As far that I know, that's it.

Why not Element/Matrix?

I just found this. Haven't tried it.

Most cryptocurrency communities use Discord or Telegram. It's such an embarrasment.

If you need a Chromium derivative, then Brave is probably the best choice. It's open-source, and includes ad blocking. Just don't use its crypto token.

I prefer Firefox over Brave, but sometimes I might need a Chromium derivative for a particular site.

Elon didn't say he would charge all the X/Twitter users. The media just made that up.

Good for Mastodon, though.

Ferdium does this and it's open-source. It supports Lemmy too. And you can even add your custom website.
