Is Telegram really that bad and should i look more into it or is sticking to signal really the best option?

I did the mistake that I got a bunch of people into Signal which is obviously already really good, but just a couple of month later I switched to Matrix and can’t get anyone to move other than my fiance and my dad.
Anyway, the Signal <-> Matrix bridge is quite solid.
Too bad Matrix clients are all kinda meh… Beeper is the only pretty solid one I’ve come across and it sadly isn’t open-source.
But this bridge kills e2e encryption? And if you do not care about it telegram and WhatsApp are a better choice.
I have a video which explains it in detail: https://tube.jeena.net/w/rYhp4ZT5Ykw1aBGqMr62KG
But in short, yes, but that is only a problem if you don’t host your own bridge, because you’re in control of the whole chain and everything from the bridge to your client is still encrypted.
Let me guess: you host matrix server yourself, right? :)
Yes I do, everyone who can should for their friends and family ^^
