Signal is just fine. This with the PhoneNumber is a really stupid hardliner-take.

Something can be private without being anonymous.

Read up on Xmpp or matrix as good alternatives.

Matrix not yet untill they implemented proper encryption and security stuff

SimpleX is pretty cool

Simplex - requires nothing, just install. But you connect with other people by sending a code outside of SimpleX. Though they've added a directory service for groups.

XMPP

Wire (not Wiremin), though it requires an email account, which is easily addressed with a disposable email.

Signal is very secure from what I've read, despite the phone number identifier.
