Is Telegram FOSS legit? (lemmy.ml)

I feel like someone tooling with a secure messaging app makes it less...reliable that its secure, despite yanking google play parts out of the code. Thoughts?

Because Telegram offers top notch user experience, apart from excellent apps they even offer native desktop clients. I really want matrix to succeed but as of now the user experience is clearly inferior.

Try cinny. I find it less cluttered compared to element

Element is very very good.

how is it inferior? what's wrong with the user experience of Element? it's available on all major platforms with a native client + all modern browsers. has a nice ui. and loads of functions surpassing Telegram out of the gate.
