It also generates a 56 character device ID for your computer, which you can share with whatever other computers you want to use Syncthing with.

How do you share the code with fellow activists securely?

I'd use a secure messaging app like https://tox.chat

I have Telegram installed, is that okay?

Telegram's default chats are not end-to-end encrypted, which means that the server (closed-source, owned by the company behind Telegram) can read those message, too. You could use a "secret chat" which is end-to-end encrypted, but the official Telegram desktop application still doesn't support them for example.

Sharing your Syncthing ID is okay though, as you still have to manually accept device requests in Syncthing's UI.

You could use PGP, or better yet, i2p-bote. But it's not a huge deal if it falls into the hands of someone you don't want - the worst they could do is spam you with requests to share a folder, which you'd have to ignore.
