This is why I moved to Telegram. Idk if it’s actually native, but often feels much more so, and less phone-centric than Signal which requires weird auth rituals involving the phone.

If you care about security, stop using telegram.

Personally, I’m a big fan of XMPP, due to the inherent resiliency in being decentralized/federated, and due to the security. Don’t have to worry about third-parties messing with my data if it stays on my server that’s in my house.

People want a chat app. If your secure chat app sucks as a chat app, it doesn’t matter how secure it is. It failed the primary use case it was meant to be developed for.

Signal is not an alternative to telegram and vice versa. Telegram has too many public communication features that people often use. The nature of signal will prevent it from having similar features.
