Telegram was always a honeypot too, this was evident by the fact that they required a phone number for signup.

Peer-to-Peer and Dark-Web chat apps with algorithmically generated user IDs that are not tied to an email, phone number, or anything else, are the way.

SimpleX, Session, Briar, and Tox are some good ones. (Careful with tox, it's true peer-to-peer, so it reveals your IP to people you chat with)
