The HN discussion seems to be plagued by pretty uninformed positions.
“There is no Signal fork on F-Droid”
Molly (Enhanced and security-focused fork of Signal) f-droid.org/packages/im.molly.app/
“Telegram is privacy-focussed”
E2e chats have to be created by long-pressing on a contact and then choosing a menu option. The default tap starts normal e2s chats. Group chats are e2s as well.

Sessions is better than both of them. Try XMPP.

I don’t know how much of this is directed by Kremlin. Maybe Signal is catching ground in Russia’s neighborhoods? The government-backed Telegram is losing users to Signal, maybe?

I hate Twitter so much. Unless you’re logged in, you can’t even read threads anymore (unless you happen to know each individual tweet URL).
What I meant to say: Is there another source?
