Is Telegram really that bad and should i look more into it or is sticking to signal really the best option?

    I did the mistake that I got a bunch of people into Signal which is obviously already really good, but just a couple of month later I switched to Matrix and can’t get anyone to move other than my fiance and my dad.

    Anyway, the Signal <-> Matrix bridge is quite solid.

      Too bad Matrix clients are all kinda meh… Beeper is the only pretty solid one I’ve come across and it sadly isn’t open-source.

      But this bridge kills e2e encryption? And if you do not care about it telegram and WhatsApp are a better choice.

        I have a video which explains it in detail: https://tube.jeena.net/w/rYhp4ZT5Ykw1aBGqMr62KG

        But in short, yes, but that is only a problem if you don’t host your own bridge, because you’re in control of the whole chain and everything from the bridge to your client is still encrypted.
