Of course telegram is not good (regarding privacy etc.).
But I don't know a good alternative. You can't compare telegram chats with the forum or IRC.
So, if you tell me an alternative which is as good as telegram regarding handling (fast desktop client, group chats working perfectly nice, quick file transfer), I will be glad to switch to that.

Slack could be an option - https://slack.com/.(No phone number needed.
)No phone # is needed for telegram, either. There are services like burner.
The real reason we started using telegram is that there are other groups for BTC that have a lot of important people in the crypto world on them. It is important to keep track of what everyone is doing.
+1 for there being a lot of crypto groups already on Telegram and being able to connect with them.
Also, the telephone number thing is just a one time thing and a person can easily obtain a disposable number. After that it isn't needed.
I have been on Whatsapp/Telegram for more than 18 months now and have close to 600 people all more civilised than what we see with some of us here. They are real people with real intentions to move the crypto world, unlike the BTT forum in general. What is worse is that we are probably addressing socks of the same person in multiple instances. For all you know, we are in a ghost town of only a few people in BTT.
We have choices. For those who want to continue to wear a mask, they are free to do so. Nobody is forcing them to expose themselves. Likewise, they should not complain they cannot do telegram. Just too bad. They just can't have the cake and eat it, too.
I believe the majority who really cares about NEM is already on the telegram.
