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

    If you can.actually get people to switch, you should look into simplex chat. It has a lot of really good features, you can run a CLI application on any servers you might have to send you notifications really easily, and it’s being rather actively developed. A quick look at their website will show you how dedicated to privacy they are.

      I can recommend SimpleX, too. Easier to install, set up, understand and use, than Matrix for example. Very promising so far!

        @ips @constantokra fair enough but doesn’t come anywhere close to Matrix though. Matrix is meant for privacy while simplex is meant for privacy + anonymity.

          Well, I use and support both. Matrix is also coming along nicely. But SimpleX is already very usable for everyone as a mobile messenger, that does everything you’re used to from years of other apps. Very clean UX for me.
