How to share confidential information? (lemmy.ml)

I'm using Signal, but after I found out that it's not as privacy-friendly as it claims, I'm uneasy about sharing my address there. I trust the person who asked for my address, but not the service. What's a safe way to share? I was thinking of something like a self-destructing pastebin, but surely you have better ideas.

Imo signal is fine in 1to1 chat. They're tested to be encrypted and I believe it's opensource aswell. For me though I just don't like that I have to give out my phone number. I hate WhatsApp for that but I need it for work.

You can use element (Matrix) or Briar or easier way as someone else suggested encrypt the info and send password from different medium
