Except if you open source server, there's no way to verify it is using same code anyways and their client is already open source so waste point.

sometimes they release the source, but the hashes of the builds don't even match.

When did this happen? Source?

Signal asks phone numbers, emails are universally known. If you don't want to give them your real phone number, buy one from fragment.com (their web3 service where they sell phone number for crypto). Emails are already public and they ask them only for recovery process and its opt on so there's no problem with that.

All chats are encrypted by default from private to group using mtproto, where there have been no breaches found yet so stop spreading misinformation.

Again telling personal experience which maybe lie, can you share source of your claims? Which journalist got arrested due to telegram?

I would spread misinformation on internet and tell others to find source of it 🤓
