Telegram is no longer safe for piracy.
I bet they will start kicking out piracy channels in few weeks.
I am going to delete my account now as it will become useless soon anyway.
Hmm, sounds like the P2P version has been paused for the forseeable future:

I don’t know of any encrypted P2P chat 🤔
There is anonymous IRC over I2P which isn’t the same but might be good enough?
Maybe there’s even matrix over I2P.
There is Tox which is P2P and encrypted and basically does this, but it’s not that popular.
Basically with P2P things get complicated still having fixed rooms that you can find in a list or send offline messages, presumably using other nodes as temporary relays.
I imagine it comes with the problem most P2P chats come with: both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time, otherwise the message cannot be delivered.
Although, if people were serious about anonymity, they’d be using such a service (or similar).
