Is there anything like a SimpleX group chat to join for us to talk, or should one be started?

If by that you mean the Unix time, then yeah, but There has been documents showing that Signal doesn't store sensitive plaintext data.

They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.
