Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. All my friends and family use Signal, it was a multi-year effort to pull that off. Signal will roll out usernames faster than the tide will turn, so let’s take our wins and learn to be better.
This is my argument for Telegram. It’s clients are open source and has good Linux support. And unlike Signal it’s actually nice to use. (non-tech people usually dislike using Signal, but the feedback from Telegram is very positive)

Yhea.
I can almost exclusively chat with my social circle with signal now, been using it since 8-9 years.
I’ve tried xmpp, matrix and some other. Signal is the only one that stuck, it’s not perfect but it’s fucking fine from my perspective.

Except e2ee isn’t on by default at telegram.
That’s why I prefer Matrix. But it’s hard to convince people to use Matrix so Telegram it is.
