Wondering how long has this been cooking? A year or so ago musk started attacking signal for no discernible reason and recommending telegram instead.
Big yikes
Telegram ASTOUNDS me.
Like, there's been several instances of them outwardly admitting that their security sucks, not to use it for encrypted chats, that they just give logs away to world governments, and yet thousands of crypto bros and bots use telegram to function, EVEN ZLIBRARY, who could just as easily set up and use Matrix, has a Telegram bot for downloading books.

Gross. So glad I deleted it and moved to Signal
How is it for file sharing? It's my main use of telegram
Element here all the way!
XMPP for me. Signal is nice, but you'll never know how nice and their software is very restrictive imo.
How is Signal financed?
Donations and grants.
Donations I believe.
If Grok starts responding with "idk I wanna kill myself" to "what do you want for dinner", I'm quite sorry, those are my conversations. To be clear, I'm not the one who constantly wants to die.
