your profile...is also end-to-end encrypted

That's fine if one of those ends isn't a public activism group.

If you don't want your name and profile picture shared with randos, either don't set them

I use Signal to talk to people I actually know, both personally and professionally. I don't want to message them from some sort of unidentifiable alias. And if I did they would know my alias and could disclose it to law enforcement.

or don't chat with randos.

You mean randos like you might find in a public activism group chat? Yes, that was my point, thank you.
