@vegbur telegram does not encrypt dms by default[1], has no option to encrypt group chats[1] is not decentralised[1] and the server code isn't open[1] which means you can't self host it[1] and it gives data willingly to the police

SimpleX is better because it has encryption for dms and small groups, is decentralised and anyone can run a node with the FLOSS server code
