End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ...
Both #deltachat and #signal go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. #Matrix stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.
Everything is better than #Telegram which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.

I'm so happy to see so many people sharing positive stories about #ballet. Apparently some mildly famous ass hat spoke ill of ballet and opera. I wanted to share my love of the art. I've been taking my kids to dance classes for 25 years. My sister did ballet when I was young. I even took a year of ballet in high school.
I'm am, right now, in intermission at at ballet version on Don't Quixote. Its so great to see the joy on the dancers faces. I love ballet and love to hear if you're a supporter of the arts, too?
