Finally convinced my non-techy family member's to move from Signal to Delta Chat messenger.
Setup was a piece of cake and we now have 4 x iOS devices, 3 x MacOS laptops, 2 x Windows laptops, 3 x Android devices, including 1 x GrapheneOS and 1 x LineageOS,, and two Linux Mint computers connected seamlessly as one Family Chat group.
Not one single byte of personal information required nor a single SIM card needed between us, though of course we all have them.
The security benefits and other bonuses provided by Delta are great but the key here was a de-centralised messenger that allows easy setup for family groups across multiple platforms.
Well, that's it! I am completely open source finally. No Google account. No Apple ID. No Microsoft, Meta, etc accounts.
The only organisation's who have my real email address are my bank, my government and my education providers.

I contacted Signal support and was informed it was a security function and there was nothing they could do. I contacted them again to plead my case and never heard from them again.
I am sick of being at the bottom of the food chain with these companies and want more flexibility as far as interoperability goes.
Delta Chat gives me this in spades.

My phones are running GrapheneOS, LineageOS and Google Android respectively. I have a single SIM I swap between them as my needs or desires change.
All seamless and so, so easy.

I'm not sure what you mean.

How it works in terms of group moderation I'm not sure.
My basic understanding is each group member has the same rights/power.
I am unaware of an 'administrator' function though.

There are >100 people chats e.g. from #38c3 or #fossdem25 that work quite fine. But YMMV
If you want Telegram-style channels with public subscription, then yes, some administration is needed.
