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

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?

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.
