Signal and WhatsApp do have that. You can easily use group chats that way, you just have to get invited. You can't look for them and join them.

It's really easy for e.g. a drugdealer to post QR codes or something on lamp posts with their contact and then they can invite people. Making Telegram go away is just going to hide the problem, not solve it.

Afaik WhatsApp and signal group chats have been way to small for that.

In Telegram you can have 10k and more in a channel

Aaaah yes, the standard political "solution".
