>many people are fine trusting Telegram and with the security it provides.

So here's my concern: They would not be fine with waking up one morning with their entire message history out in the open after a massive hack. Surely you can't argue Telegram will never be hacked. Facebook has had multiple data breaches and I've never heard anyone be happy about that. This is what I've had to be second hand witness to https://www.wired.com/story/vastaamo-psychotherapy-patients-... I've seen the devastation someone's most private life out in the open does to them. I can't think of many things more terrifying than that.

There's a reason I made TFC (my work) E2EE by default. There's a reason Signal, Wire, Threema, Element, WhatsApp, Session all felt they didn't want to be liable or user data.

>Personally, I cannot wait for Matrix to become more widely adopted, and to see the UI/UX of their clients to become remotely comparable with the one of Telegram.

Yeah, Element is improving and will gether, and Signal's polishing the UX, hopefully adding the usernames etc by the end of the year.

>Thank you for the chat, I liked how we managed to stay polite even though we completely disagree :)

Likewise!
