Lemmy

Nothing new here. E2E is only available in one on one chats and is disabled by default.

At least Telegram has an open-source client. Very few messaging platforms can say that, and fewer have a decent UX.

It’s not perfect, but it’s got the best combination of features and multi-platform availability by quite a bit. None of the other messaging apps support all of my devices except Matrix, and Matrix doesn’t have stickers

Signal

After Signal’s lie about dropping SMS support because of “engineering costs”, I really can’t believe anything else they say.

Plus the app experience sucks, it’s no better than SMS.

it’s no better than SMS

That’s not true, but even so, the whole point is to be an alternative to SMS. It provides that experience, so I’m happy.

Wasn’t another explanation people mistakenly sending SMS and getting fucked when they meant to send a Signal message?
Are you talking about the signal from five years ago or something?
