I would say from the frying pan into the kitchen bench. It's not perfect but it's not yet being cooked.

Telegram is a good compromise. Yeah it's not e2ee.

Signal isn't even a good compromise for most people. I don't know anyone who has stuck with signal in my circles. They've nearly all reverted back their previous service or find a new one.

Personally I treat everything that is sent over networks as public data. So I would never comm anything that needed e2ee via a message service full stop.
