Simplex chat is a hardened fork that does not require any phone number and can be completely self hosted
You can quickly spin up new identities to give out, I get the network effect with signal is big but simplex is perfect for this use case so I felt like mentioning it
I’m not really sure. I think I want to find groups local to my area, specifically those that would be involved in 50501 type organizing. I want to learn about and get involved in (though I think in a limited scope) mutual aid organizing in my area.
I don’t want to say where I am specifically, but groups focused on mid-atlantic of the US would be most relevant to me.

I’m downloading it right now
Hell yeah. We’ve been using it as our main comms for almost a year and love it
I didn’t realize it was a fork. I just installed it from f-droid!
Tried Simplex for a bit, but seemed like there was a lack of channels/groups that were both active and useful.
Can you recommend any resources to get connected with those?
I use it for IRL contacts mostly
There are directories for groups, here is the official one (others contain lots of porn)

What kind of group were you thinking of?
