I like that Signal is open source, but I dislike their insistence on shutting down third party clients, because I believe third party clients are almost universally better than first-party ones.

In addition, their continued reluctance to add an export or any kind of meaningful history backup is also a negative.

The chat landscape is dire. I view Signal as a least bad option for my friends to use.

I think telegram is a great tradeoff. Not as secure (by default it is not even e2e), but their clients on every platform are just slick and very great.

Yep, they've started nagging for donations too. Signal, no means no.

You can just not donate.
